Sample Windows Network

In a Windows network environment, the TCP/IP or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used. Multiple protocols can be used at the same time. In addition to IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4), the machine also supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), and has a dual stack configuration that enables it to communicate with both IPv4 networks and IPv6 networks. You can select whether to use the functions of IPv4 or IPv6. You can also enable the functions of both IPv4 and IPv6. The IPv4 network and IPv6 network used by the machine supports IPSec (Security Architecture for Internet Protocol). (See "IPSec Settings.") To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.

After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network," "Interface Settings," or "Communication Environment Setup," specify a TCP/IP or NetBIOS network, depending on the protocol.


Remark
  • The machine does not support NetBEUI.
  • To perform IPSec communication, the optional IPSec Board must be installed after installing the optional Expansion Bus.
