Use DHCPv6
When this option is set to Yes, the Wizard DXS - Digital will attempt to locate a DHCPv6 server on the network to derive a unique
IPv6 address for itself as well as an address for the IPv6 Gateway. These are not usually granted permanently, but on a ‘lease’
basis for a fixed amount of time or for as long as the Wizard DXS - Digital remains connected and switched on.
.
If this option is set to No, the Wizard DXS - Digital will use the
Stateless Address Auto Configuration
protocol to determine
its own IPv6 address. This will be shown in the IPV6 Addresses field and can be edited if necessary.
IP Gateway
This is the address of the device that links the local network (to which the Wizard DXS - Digital is connected) to another network
such as the wider Internet. Usually the actual gateway is a network router and it will be used whenever a required address lies
outside the current network.
VNC Port
This is the logical link through which communications with a remote VNC viewer will be channelled. The default setting is 5900
which is a widely recognised port number for use by VNC software. However, in certain circumstances it may be advantageous to
alter this number - see ‘Security issues with ports’ for more details.
HTTP Port
This is the logical link through which communications with a remote web browser will be channelled. The default setting of 80 is
an established standard for web (HTTP – HyperText Transfer Protocol) traffic though this can be changed to suit your local
network requirements.
IP Access Control
This section allows you to optionally specify ranges of addresses which will or won’t be granted access to the Wizard DXS -
Digital. If this option is left unchanged, then the default entry of ‘+0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0’ ensures that access from all IP addresses will
be permitted. See
for details.
