IP Boot Tries

This field displays the number of attempts the machine will try to obtain an IP address when the Boot Method is set to any setting except Static.

APIPA

The setting of On will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set. (See Boot Method uu page 36.) Choosing Off means the IP address does not change, when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set.

IPv6

This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6 protocol, choose On. The default setting for IPv6 is Off. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit http://solutions.brother.com/.

Note

If you set IPv6 to On, turn off the power switch and then turn it back on to enable this protocol.

After you choose IPv6 On, this setting will be applied to both the wired and wireless LAN interface.
