The section describes the Ethernet IPv6 connection with the reader.
Obtain IPv6 Address via DHCP - The reader supports both automatic TCP/IPv6 configuration via DHCP and manual configuration. The DHCP button turns DHCP on and off.
If
Obtain Address via DHCP
is turned on, this window displays the current values of the reader's IPv6 address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, and domain name search. Because these are obtained from the DHCP server, they cannot be changed manually. If DHCP is turned off, you can set the following values for these fields.
Current IPv6 Address - IP address (in colon notation) at which the reader is assigned.
Prefix Length - Prefix length appropriate for the reader's network.
IPv6 Default Gateway - Default gateway (in colon notation) appropriate for the network in which the reader resides.
IPv6 DNS Server - DNS server (in colon notation) appropriate for the network in which the reader resides.
Domain Name Search- The domain name assigned to the reader.
You must select the arrow button to update the network configuration. If saving changes is unsuccessful, the system indicates the problem and allows correcting it by repeating the operation. DHCP and IP address updates apply immediately.
