IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
Specify IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration.
Default: [Active]
DHCPv6 Configuration
Specify the DHCPv6 setting.
Default: [Inactive]
If you set to [Active], select "Operation Mode" from [Router Request], [Obtain IP Address] or [Do not obtain IP Address], and also select "DNS Server Address" from [Auto-Obtain (DHCPv6)] or [Specify].
DNS Configuration

Ping Command
Check the network connection with ping command using the given IPv4 address.
If you fail to connect to the network, check the following, and then retry the ping command.
Make sure that "IPv4" in [Effective Protocol] is set to [Active].
Check that the machine with the assigned IPv4 address is connected to the network.
There is a possibility that the same IPv4 address is used for the specified equipment.
Permit SNMPv3 Communication
Set the encrypted communication of SNMPv3.
Default: [Encryption / Cleartext]
If you select [Encryption Only], you need to set an encryption password for the machine.
Permit SSL / TLS Communication

Specify the host name.
Enter the host name up to 63 characters.
The following host names are unacceptable:
a host name starting with or ending with a hyphen
a host name in which hyphens are used consecutively
a host name starting with "RNP" or "rnp"
Machine Name
Specify the machine name.
Enter the machine name up to 31 characters.
IEEE 802.1X Authentication for Ethernet
Specify the IEEE 802.1X authentication for Ethernet.
Default: [Inactive]
For details about IEEE 802.1X authentication, see Security Guide.
Restore IEEE 802.1X Authentication to Defaults
You can return the IEEE 802.1X authentication settings to their defaults.
For details about IEEE 802.1X authentication, see Security Guide.
DIPRINT Timeout Period
Specify the DIPRINT timeout period when printing cannot be performed due to the job taking time to be sent.
Default: [15 second(s)]
You can set the time from 5 to 65535 seconds in increments of 1 second, using the number keys.
We recommend only enabling one of the following settings: IPv6 gateway address manual settings, or IPv6 stateless address automatic settings. If you do not want the IPv6 gateway address to be changed automatically, do not enable IPv6 gateway address manual settings, and IPv6 stateless automatic settings at the same time.
An IPv6 gateway address automatically acquired may be set by the router if the following settings are enabled at the same time;
IPv6 gateway address manual settings and either IPv6 stateless address automatic settings
IPv6 stateless address automatic settings
For details on how to access System Settings, see Accessing User Tools.
