IPV6

The reader supports both automatic TCP/IPV6 configuration via DHCP, and manual configuration. The first button turns DHCP on or off, depending on current state.

If DHCP is turned on, actual current values of the reader�s IPV6 address, prefix length, default gateway, and DNS server are displayed on this page. Since these have been obtained from the DHCP server, they cannot be changed manually.

If DHCP is turned off, you can set values for these fields:

• IPV6 Address (in dotted notation) at which the reader is assigned.
• Prefix Length appropriate for the network the reader resides in.
• Default Gateway (in dotted notation) appropriate for the network the reader resides in.
• DNS server (in dotted notation) appropriate for the network the reader resides in.
• MAC Address - Specifies the MAC address of the reader.

Note: The automatic config for IPV6 can also be enabled through RA packets configuration. To enable or disabled RA packet configuration goto Services page(see Services.)

Note: When DHCP is enabled changes take effect after setting the properties. When DHCP is disabled user is required to set the appropriate network parameters and changes take effect after setting the properties.
