Identifying The Mac Hardware Address; Obtaining An Ip Address; Using The D6200 To Configure The D6100Ipv6 - Bosch Conettix D6600 Installation And Operation Manual

For example, 190.200.128.111 could be an IPv4 address and 2001:0db8:85a3:0042:0000:8a2e:
0370:7334 could be an IPv6 address. Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses
at random if each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet
requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates. IPv6
addresses are typically set using DHCP on the network. The D6100IPv6 supports IPv4 and/or
IPv6 addressing schemes or both at the same time.
12.4.2

Identifying the MAC Hardware Address

You must program the IP address of the module. The first step is to determine the MAC, or
hardware, address of the module. This address is hard-coded into the module during its
manufacture and cannot be changed. This address is 6 bytes (12 digits) long.

Notice!
i
The MAC address label is located on the rear of the module below the Ethernet port.
Record this number for future reference.
12.4.3

Obtaining an IP Address

Provide the module's MAC address to the site's network administrator, who then assigns an IP
address for the D6100IPv6.
12.4.4

Using the D6200 to configure the D6100IPv6

Read this entire section before proceeding.
Notice!
In order to access the configuration program, ensure that the D6100IPv6 and the computer
used to configure it are directly connected using an Ethernet cable.
i
Be sure that the computer being used to configure the device is configured to use DHCP to
obtain an IP address. When it is connected directly to the D6100IPv6 obtains an AutoIP ad-
dress.
The D6200 software is the recommended way to program the network devices. Review the
Network Utilities section in the D6200 Programming Software Operation and Installation Guide
(P/N: 4998154991).

When you have the IP address and the network administrator confirms that it is ready,
connect the Ethernet port of the D6100IPv6 directly to the computer Ethernet port using
an Ethernet cable.
With the computer already booted and running, apply power to the D6100IPv6 and wait
approximately 1 minute for the computer and D6686 to acquire an AutoIP address
(169.254.xxx.xxx).
Open the D6200 software and select Network – Network Utilities - Network Device
Setup.
