All the devices from MA lighting have a unique IPv6 address - a big number. This means that you don't have to worry
about setting an address on you equipment.
Using a computer
But you might need to worry about your computers IPv6 address. Normally your computer will create it's own
address. It's a number that is written in 8 blocks separated by colons. Each block have 4 hexadecimal numbers. So
an IPv6 address could look like this:
2001:0db8:4545:0000:0000:00ff:fe21:67cf
It could also look like this (the same address):
2001:db8:4545::ff:fe21:67cf
All computers who supports IPv6 have something called a
"fe80". Data from and to a local link address is only being transmitted in your local network It will not be transmitted
through a router or the internet.
Your computer should already have an Local Link Address.

If your computer does not have an IPv6 address, you'll need to look in the manual of your computer or operating
system - alternative go to windows webpage and search for IPv6.
Your network needs to be able to handle the IPv6 address and language. Please make sure you are using network
switches that supports IPv6.
