Network Settings

This category describes how to connect the machine to a computer or network and how to set up a network connection environment.



Basic Network Settings

The basic network settings are required in order to use the following functions of the machine.

  • Printing or sending a fax from a computer

  • Scanning documents to a computer

To perform the basic network settings, follow the procedure below.


Remark
  • It is recommended that the network administrator perform the following procedures.
  1. Checking the Network Environment

The network environment for this machine is based on the assumption that:

  • Computers are connected to the intranet.
  • This machine is connected to a router or hub.
  1. Connect the LAN Cable

  1. Setting and Checking the IP Address


Setting and Checking the IP Address

Setting the IP address to the machine allows it to communicate with computers on the network.


Setting IPv4 Address

The followings are the procedures for specifying the IPv4 Address settings. After configuring the IPv4 Address settings, check that the network connections are properly set. Perform the procedure in "Confirming IPv4 Address Settings and Checking IPv4 Connection."
If you want to use IPv6 communications, follow the procedure in "Setting IPv6 Address," to specify the required settings, and the procedure in "Checking Network Connection (IPv6)," to check the settings.

Confirming IPv4 Address Settings and Checking IPv4 Connection


Setting IPv6 Address

The followings are the procedure for specifying IPv6 address settings. After specifying the IPv6 address settings, perform the procedure in "Checking Network Connection (IPv6)," check that the network settings are correct.
The machine can use up to nine of the following IPv6 addresses. With IPv6 communication, multiple IPv6 addresses can be used at the same time.

  • Link local address (1)

An address that is only valid within the same link. A link local address is automatically set using a specific prefix (fe80::) and an interface identifier generated from the MAC address of the machine. When the machine is using the functions of IPv6, one link local address is always registered.

  • Manual address (0 or 1)

A fixed address.

  • Stateless address (0 to 6)

A stateless address is automatically set using the machine's MAC address and the prefix (information indicating the network the machine belongs to) included in the RA (Router Advertisement) notified by the router when the machine is started.

  • Stateful address (0 or 1)

A stateful address can be obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6.
