This is necessary to avoid causing problems with the LAN.Ask your network administrator to confirm the following points:• Whether FTP can be used in the LAN (only if you wish to use the FTP function)• Whether image files can be transferred across in the LAN• How IP addresses are managed (if you wish to use a fixed IP address, whether its use ispermitted, or, if you wish to have IP addresses, etc., automatically acquired, whether aDHCP server is available)NOTE: When a fixed IP address is acquired, a subnet mask and a gateway addressare also acquired.
