IPv4 address of this product). If your machine is 50 ppm
(cpm) or lower speed model, enter the fixed IP address.
If your machine is 60 ppm (cpm) or higher speed model,
IPv4 address will be automatically assigned by DHCP. Leave this field as "0.0.0.0".
* If you fail to connect using 0.0.0.0, enter the IP address assigned by DHCP.
MFP main unit subnet mask
IPv4 Address range to use
Configure the subnet mask for the MFP main unit running on an IPv4 network.
* This value must be entered even if the IP address is automatically assigned.
Set the Start Address and End Address of the IPv4 address range you reserved for this product in Before using this
product....
* Please make sure that the IPv4 address of the MFP main unit is not included in this range.
3.
Click Submit.
A message will appear and ask whether to reboot this product or not. Click OK.
This product will automatically reboot itself and finish the configuration.
The general configuration has been completed.
Now, the MFP main unit can be accessed from the IPv6 network via this product. By using the IPv6 address of this product, IPv6 devices can communicate with the MFP main unit via the IPv6 network.
Protocols enabled by completing the general configuration (example).
TCP: telnet(#23), http(#80), LPR(#515), IPP(#631), RAW mode print(#9100),
FTP-Server(#21)
UDP: SNMP(#161)
* This product transparently forwards protocols other than IPv6.
Communication to the MFP main unit using IPv4 or other protocols
(e.g. Netware and AppleTalk) can be carried out as usual.

2.Configuration for accessing IPv6 devices from the MFP main unit
When communicating from the MFP main unit to an IPv6 network such as when sending/receiving an email or transferring a file, the IPv4 address sent out from the MFP main unit needs to be converted to an IPv6 address.
This product converts IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses by mapping IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses in the Conversion Address List.
1.
Click Advanced on the left pane.
2.
On the page displayed, enter the addresses into the Conversion Address List.
Up to 128 addresses can be set to the Conversion Address List.
IPv4 Address
IPv6 Address
Note
Set the IPv4 address of the destination device to be set on the
MFP main unit.
The IPv4 address configured here is not the IPv4 address actually used by the device that the MFP main unit communicates with.
It is the address used for the MFP main unit and this product to communicate with each other.
The value must be an address within the IPv4 Address range
to use which you set during the general configuration. However, do not use the first address in the range.
* Do not enter the IPv4 address of the MFP main unit in this field.
Set the IPv6 address of the destination device.
Enter a comment describing the destination device if desirable (Up to 15 characters).
3.
Click Submit.
A message will appear and ask whether to reboot this product or not. Click OK.
This product will automatically reboot itself and finish the configuration.
4.
Once user authentication has succeeded, the configuration page you have selected will be displayed.
Change the MFP main unit settings
Convert the IP address of the destination device set on the MFP main unit to the
IPv4 address registered in the Conversion Address List on this product.
Network data destined for the IPv4 address registered in the Conversion Address List is converted to IPv6 format and then sent.
* This product looks at the IP address in the network data sent from the MFP main unit, and converts only the network data destined for IPv4 addresses (registered in the Conversion Address List) to IPv6 network data and then sends it. If the IP address in the network data sent by the MFP main unit is not registered in the
Conversion Address List, the network data is sent without being converted to IPv6 format. Please do not forget to change the IP address of the destination device set on the MFP main unit.

Network data not registered in the Conversion
Address List is sent as it is.
When the destination address is not changed...
Communication from the MFP main unit to the IPv6 network has now been enabled.
Protocols enabled by making use of the Conversion Address List. (Example)
TCP: SMTP(#25), POP(#162), SMB(#445), FTP-Server(#21)
UDP: SNMP-Trap(#162)

3.How to register IPv4/IPv6 addresses to the Conversion Address List by creating a CSV file
The Conversion Address List can be edited as a CSV file and then uploaded to this product. This function is convenient when using the same Conversion Address List for two or more of this product.
The following explains how to register IPv4/IPv6 addresses to the Conversion Address List using a CSV file.
1.
Start a software application that can edit CSV files, such as Excel.
2.
Enter the address information into the CSV file in the order of
[IPv4 Address] -> [IPv6 Address] -> [Note]. Up to 128 addresses can be registered to the Conversion Address List.
3.
When finished editing, save the file in CSV format.
* If using Excel, click File -> Save As.... On the dialog displayed, select "CSV(Comma delimited) (*.csv) " for Save as type and click Save.
4.
Access the Web page of this product via a Web browser and click CSV Upload on the left pane.
5.
On the page displayed, click Browse and select the CSV file that you have saved.
6.
Click Upload.
* The information contained in the CSV file will be uploaded to the Conversion
Address List.
A message will appear and ask whether to reboot this product or not. Click OK.
This product will automatically reboot itself and finish the configuration.
To use the same Conversion Address List for two or more of this product, repeat the process described in 4-6 for each one.
* Please enter correct values for the IPv4/IPv6 addresses. If characters that cannot be recognized as an address are included, they will not be used for the address conversion.
* Do not enter the IPv4 address of the target device.
* Up to 15 characters can be entered into the [Note] field.
However, a comma (,) cannot be entered.
* If you have mistakenly uploaded a CSV file that includes the IPv4 address of the
MFP main unit, click Advanced - Address Conversion List and delete the address information of the target device manually.
