Connecting the machine to a network requires a unique network IP address. Two versions of IP addresses are available: IPv4 and IPv6. Configure these settings depending on the network environment. To use IPv6 addresses, you need to properly configure the IPv4 address settings.
Setting IPv4 Address
The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IP addressing protocol or entered manually. Make sure that the connectors of the LAN cable are firmly inserted into the ports. You can test the network connection if necessary.
1. Tap ⋖Menu⋗.
2. Tap ⋖Network Settings⋗.
3. Tap ⋖TCP/IP Settings⋗ ⋖IPv4 Settings⋗ ⋖IP Address Settings⋗.
4. Configure IP address settings.
⋖Auto Acquire⋗
Select to automatically assign an IP address via DHCP. When ⋖Auto Acquire: On⋗ is displayed, automatic addressing is enabled.
⋖Manually Acquire⋗
Select to configure the IP address settings by manually entering an IP address. In order to select this option, ⋖Auto Acquire⋗ must be set to ⋖Off⋗.
⋖Check Settings⋗
Select when you want to view the current IP address settings.
Automatically assigning an IP address
4-A-1. Tap ⋖Auto Acquire⋗ ⋖Select Protocol⋗.
4-A-2. Tap ⋖DHCP⋗.
If you do not want to use DHCP to assign an IP address
4-A-3. Check that ⋖Auto IP⋗ is set to ⋖On⋗.
4-A-4. Tap ⋖Apply⋗.
Caution
IP addresses assigned via DHCP override the address obtained via Auto IP.
Manually entering an IP address
4-B-1. Check that ⋖Auto Acquire⋗ is set to ⋖Off⋗.
4-B-2. Tap ⋖Manually Acquire⋗.
4-B-3. Specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (or default gateway).
5. Restart the machine.
Caution
Checking whether the settings are correct
Testing the Network Connection
1. Tap ⋖Menu⋗.
2. Tap ⋖Network Settings⋗.
3. Tap ⋖TCP/IP Settings⋗ ⋖IPv4 Settings⋗ ⋖PING Command⋗.
4. Enter the IPv4 address of another device on the network, and tap ⋖Apply⋗.
Setting IPv6 Addresses
The IPv6 addresses of the machine can be configured via the Remote UI. Before setting IPv6 addresses, check the IPv4 address settings. You need to set the correct IPv4 settings to use IPv6 addresses. Note that the scan function that uses the scanner driver is not available in an IPv6 environment. The machine can use up to nine of the following IPv6 addresses:
Type | Maximum number available | Description |
Link-local address | 1 | An address that is only valid within a subnet or link and cannot be used to communicate with devices beyond a router. A link-local address is automatically set when the IPv6 function of the machine is enabled. |
Manual address | 1 | An address that is entered manually. When using this address, specify the prefix length and default router address. |
Stateless address | 6 | An address that is generated automatically using the MAC address of the machine and the network prefix that is advertised by the router. Stateless addresses are discarded when the machine is restarted (or turned ON). |
Stateful address | 1 | An address obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6. |
1. Start the Remote UI and log on in System Manager Mode.
2. Click [Settings/Registration].
3. Click [Network Settings] [TCP/IP Settings].
4. Click [Edit] in [IPv6 Settings].
5. Select the [Use IPv6] check box and configure the required settings.
[Use IPv6]
[Stateless Address]
[Use Manual Address]
[IP Address]
[Prefix Length]
[Default Router Address]
[Use DHCPv6]
6. Click [OK].
7. Restart the machine.
