Setting IP Addresses (MF8580Cdw/MF8280Cw) ID : 8201751700 _ EN _ 1 | ||||||||||||||||
Solution | Connecting the machine to a network requires a unique network IP address. Two versions of IP addresses are available: IPv4 and IPv6. Configure these settings depending on the network environment. To use IPv6 addresses, you need to properly configure the IPv4 address settings. Setting IPv4 Address The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IP addressing protocol, such as DHCP, or entered manually. When connecting the machine to a wired LAN, make sure that the connectors of the LAN cable are firmly inserted into the ports. You can test the network connection if necessary. 1. Press [ ![]() 2. Use [ ![]() ![]() ![]()
3. Select <TCP/IP Settings> ![]() ![]() 4. Configure IP address settings.
(a) <Auto Acquire> Select to set a protocol, such as DHCP or Auto IP, that automatically assigns an IP address. If the machine is set to use one of the protocols, <Auto Acquire: On> is displayed. (b) <Manually Acquire> Select to configure the IP address settings by manually entering an IP address. In order to select this option, <Auto Acquire> must be set to <Off>. (c) <Check Settings> Select when you want to view the current IP address settings. ![]() (1) Select <Auto Acquire> ![]() ![]() (2) Select <DHCP>, <BOOTP>, or <RARP> and press [ ![]() ![]() NOTE: If you do not want to use DHCP/BOOTP/RARP to assign an IP address Select <Off>. If you select <DHCP>, <BOOTP>, or <RARP> when these services are unavailable, the machine will waste time and communications resources searching the network for these services. (3) Check that <Auto IP> is set to <On>.
(4) Press <Apply>.
![]() (1) Check that <Auto Acquire> is set to <Off>.
(2) Select <Manually Acquire> and press [ ![]() (3) Specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (or default gateway). - Specify the settings in the following order: <IP Address> ![]() ![]() - Enter the setting using the numeric keys and press <Apply> on each screen. ![]() 5. Restart the machine.

3. Select <TCP/IP Settings> ![]() ![]() 4. Enter the IP address of another device on the network and press <Apply>.
Setting IPv6 Addresses The IPv6 addresses of the machine can be configured via the Remote UI. Before setting IPv6 addresses, check the IPv4 address settings. You need to set the correct IPv4 settings to use IPv6 addresses. Note that the scan function that uses the scanner driver or MF Toolbox is not available in an IPv6 environment. The machine can use up to nine of the following IPv6 addresses:
1. Start the Remote UI and log on in System Manager Mode. 2. Click [Settings/Registration].
3. Click [Network Settings] ![]()
4. Click [Edit...] in [IPv6 Settings].
5. Select the [Use IPv6] check box and configure the required settings.
[Use IPv6] Select the check box to enable IPv6 on the machine. When not using IPv6, clear the check box. [Stateless Address] Select the check box when using a stateless address. When not using a stateless address, clear the check box. [Use Manual Address] When you want to manually enter an IPv6 address, select the check box and enter the IP address, prefix length, and default router address in the corresponding text boxes. [IP Address] Enter an IPv6 address. [Prefix Length] Enter a number that indicates how many bits are available for the network address. [Default Router Address] Specify the IPv6 address of the default router as necessary. [Use DHCPv6] Select the check box when using a stateful address. When not using DHCPv6, clear the check box. IMPORTANT: Entering IPv6 addresses Addresses that start with "ff" (or multicast address) cannot be entered. 6. Click [OK].
7. Restart the machine.
