Network Settings

TCP/IP settings must be properly configured before you operate the device over network. IPv4 and IPv6 are both supported. Both versions can be configured simultaneously without conflicting to each other.

Go to Configuration → Basic Configuration → Network → TCP/IP for parameter settings.

NIC Type

Select a NIC (Network Interface Card) type according to your network condition.

IPv4

Two IPv4 modes are available.

DHCP

The device automatically gets the IPv4 parameters from the network if you check DHCP. The device IP address is changed after enabling the function. You can use a network search tool to get the device IP address.

Note

The network that the device is connected to should support DHCP (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol).

Manual

You can set the device IPv4 parameters manually. Input IPv4 Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, and

IPv4 Default Gateway, and click Test to see if the IP address is available.

IPv6

Three IPv6 modes are available.

Route Advertisement

The IPv6 address is generated by combining the route advertisement and the device Mac address.

Note

Route advertisement mode requires the support from the router that the device is connected to.

DHCP

The IPv6 address is assigned by the server, router or gateway.

Manual

Input IPv6 Address, IPv6 Subnet, IPv6 Default Gateway. Consult the network administrator for required information.

MTU

It stands for maximum transmission unit. It is the size of the largest protocol data unit that can be communicated in a single network layer transaction.

The valid value range of MTU is 1280 to 1500.

DNS

It stands for domain name server. It is required if you need to visit the device with domain name. And it is also required for some applications (e.g., sending email). Set Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS server properly if needed.
