Setting the IP Address

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

Setting IPv4 Address

If you assign static IP addresses to the network devices, manually assign a static address to the machine. If you use a router (a DHCP server) to assign IP addresses, you can set the machine to obtain an IP address automatically. After setting the machine to automatically obtain an IP address, check that the machine has successfully obtained an IP address and has been connected to the network.

The ⋖IP ADDRESS AUTO.⋗ of ⋖IPv4 SETTINGS⋗ is set to ⋖ON⋗ in the factory default. Therefore, choose one of the followings to set the IP address and connect to the Internet. Even when assigning IPv6 addresses to the machine, you must obtain an IPv4 address beforehand.

Caution

Setting IPv4 Address Automatically

If you use a network environment which can automatically assign IP addresses, such as a network with a router (a DHCP server), you can set the machine to automatically obtain an IPv4 address. In this setting, the machine will automatically obtain an IP address after being connected to the network for a few moments.

The default settings are as follows:

Caution

1. Press [Menu].

2. Press or to select ⋖SYSTEM SETTINGS⋗, then press [OK].

To check that the IPv4 network connections are properly set using the IPv4 address, follow the procedure below.

Caution

Caution

3. Confirm that the Remote UI screen appears.

Even if you enter the IP address confirmed in step 2 and the Remote UI screen does not appear, check whether the machine is correctly connected to the computer.

Caution

The machine is successfully connected to the Internet using IPv4.

Setting IPv6 Address

The following explains the procedure for specifying IPv6 address settings. After specifying the IPv6 address settings, perform the procedure in "Checking Network Connection (IPv6)," in this content, check that the network settings are correct.

The machine can be assigned up to nine IPv6 addresses. With IPv6 communication, multiple IPv6 addresses can be assigned at the same time. If you manually assign a fixed address, the machine will be able to communicate even if stateless addresses or a stateful address cannot be obtained.

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 it belongs to) included in the RA (Router Advertisement) notified by the router when the machine is started. The machine can automatically obtain stateless addresses and access the network without a DHCP server.

Stateful address (0 or 1)

A stateful address can be obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6. Without a DHCP server, the machines cannot obtain a stateful address.
