Modifying IPv4 Network Settings (IPv6 Enabled)

After the initial configuration, you can modify network settings for IPv4 addresses using the web client. This screen only displays when library support for IPv6 addresses is enabled. For more information, refer to About Network Settings.

For IPv4 addresses, the library can be set to obtain IP address from a DHCP server or the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be configured manually. DHCP is enabled by default.

NOTE: IPv4 addresses must be entered in dot notation (for example, 192.168.0.1). IPv4 address text boxes do not allow values exceeding 255 for dot-separated values.

NOTE: Changing the network settings may interrupt the library connection and library communication. Your current browser session may become invalid. If this happens, you must close your browser and then restart it to reconnect to the library with your new configuration settings.

NOTE: This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is performing the same operation.

You need administrator privileges to modify network settings.
