Using The Driver In Ipv6 Mode - Pepperl+Fuchs ICDM-RX/TCP Manual

ICDM-RX/TCP (DeviceMaster) and ICRPC (RocketPort EXPRESS)
Windows Driver Installation

4.4.5. Using the Driver in IPv6 Mode

After associating the DeviceMaster with the MAC address you can configure the DeviceMaster to run in IPv6
Mode.
Note: You must first program the IPv6 address in the DeviceMaster. Refer to Program the IPv6 Address
(Network Information) on Page 14 for IPv6 programming procedures.
You can refer to www.ipv6.com for information about IPv6.
1. First associate a MAC address (Page 36) to the DeviceMaster.
2. Highlight the DeviceMaster.
3. Click the IPv6 Mode radio button.
4. Enter the IPv6 address and the subnet mask prefix length.
• After driver installation, the Windows Driver Management Console may display the link-local address
for the DeviceMaster in the IPv6 Mode field.
You can identify the link-local address by the prefix: FE80. The link-local address is a network address
that is valid only for communications within the network segment or the broadcast domain to which the
host is connected. Link-local addresses are usually not guaranteed to be unique beyond a single
network segment. Routers do not forward packets with link-local addresses.
• The subnet mask prefix length is 1 - 128. The smallest recommended subnet is 64, an entry is required.
5. If you do not have any other configuration changes, click Apply. If you have other configuration changes,
refer to the appropriate subsection:
• Enabling SSL on Page 41
• Configuring Device Settings on Page 43
