IPv6 configuration

[Caution]

IPv6 is supported properly only in Windows Vista or higher.

In the IPv6 network environment, follow the next procedure to use the IPv6 address.

From the SyncThru™ Web Service

Activating IPv6

  1. Access a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, from Windows. Enter the machine IP address (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in the address field and press the Enter key or click Go.

  2. If it’s your first time logging into SyncThru™ Web Service you need to log-in as an administrator. Type in the below default ID and password. We recommend you to change the default password for security reasons.

    • ID admin

    • Password sec00000

  3. When the SyncThru™ Web Service window opens, move the mouse cursor over the Settings of the top menu bar and then click Network Settings.

  4. Click TCP/IPv6 on the left pane of the website.

  5. Check the IPv6 Protocol check box to activate IPv6.

  6. Click the Apply button.

  7. Turn the machine off and turn it on again.

    [Note]
    • You can also set the DHCPv6.

    • To manually set the IPv6 address:

      Check the Manual Address check box. Then, the Address/Prefix text box is activated. Enter the rest of the address (e.g.,:3FFE:10:88:194::AAAA. “A” is the hexadecimal 0 through 9, A through F).

IPv6 address configuration

  1. Start a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, that supports IPv6 addressing as a URL.

  2. Select one of the IPv6 addresses (Link-local Address, Stateless Address, Stateful Address, Manual Address) from Network Configuration Report (see Printing a network configuration report).

    • Link-local Address: Self-configured local IPv6 address (Address starts with FE80).

    • Stateless Address: Automatically configured IPv6 address by a network router.

    • Stateful Address: IPv6 address configured by a DHCPv6 server.

    • Manual Address: Manually configured IPv6 address by a user.

  3. Enter the IPv6 addresses (e.g.,: http://[FE80::215:99FF:FE66:7701]).

    [Caution]

    Address must be enclosed in '[ ]' brackets.
