Sigma DS4 and DS4-ES1 Installation and Administrator’s Guide 23
Use IPv6 Addressing
The expanded address space provided by IPv6 is becoming increasingly common in network
environments. A printer on an IPv6 network can be configured to use one or more of the
following methods, depending on how the network is set up:
Link Local IPv6 address: The printer and PC clients are restricted to the same subnet. Link
local is enabled automatically when IPv6 is enabled and offers the best security for your
network.
DHCPv6: A DHCPv6 server is externally configured to give out an IPv6 address.
Stateless Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC): One or more routers with IPv6 enabled on the
subnet give out a subnet prefix that allows access to IP addresses.
Manual IPv6 Address: The printer has a designated IPv6 address on a specified subnet. The
address does not change without manual intervention. This is similar to an IPv4 static IP
address.
To use IPv6 with the card printer, you need to connect to an IPv6 network and enable one or
more address configuration methods. Link local, DHCPv6, and SLAAC automatically configure an
address, but may require the necessary network support (DHCPv6 and routers). Refer to “Enable
IPv6” for complete information about how to enable IPv6.
Enable IPv6
Use the front panel Configuration menu to enable the IPv6 option used by your network. You also
can enable IPv6 using the Printer Dashboard (refer to the Printer Dashboard Help for more
information).
1. Begin with the printer in Ready status. Press the U
SER
button to suspend the printer.
2. Press E
NTER to enter the menu system.
a. Press the down arrow until Configuration displays on
line 3.
This Guide assumes that your IPv6 network is configured and that you have the
information you need to set up the card printer. If you need information about your
network configuration, contact your network administrator.
