3 Using a TCP/IP NetworkTCP/IPv6 Settings 3-13TCP/IPv6 SettingsThis section describes the procedure for setting TCP/IPv6 using the control panel. After specifyingthe settings for TCP/IPv6, follow the procedure in "Settings Common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6(p.3-23)" to specify the required settings, and the procedure in "Confirming TCP/IPv6Settings(p.3-35)" to check whether the network settings are correct. If the settings for TCP/IPv4 arealready specified and you have finished specifying the settings common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6,only check the network settings after completing this procedure. If you want to use IPv4communications at the same time, follow the procedure in "TCP/IPv4 Settings(p.3-4)" to specify therequired settings, and the procedure in "Confirming TCP/IPv4 Settings(p.3-33)" to check the settings.The machine can use up to seven of the following IPv6 addresses. With IPv6 communication, multipleIPv6 addresses can be used at the same time.RemarkIf the IPv6 address assigned to the machine is thesame as another node, you may not be able to performIPv6 communication, even though an IPv6 address isdisplayed on the screen.Link local address (1)An address that is only valid within the same link. A link local address is automatically set using aspecific 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 that is set from the control panel.Stateless address (0 to 4)A stateless address is automatically set using the machine's MAC address and the prefix (informationindicating the network belonged to) included in the RA (Router Advertisement) notified by the routerwhen the machine is started.
