							CheckingtheSSIDandNetworkKey
1469-06A
When manually setting up a wireless connection, you need to specify the SSID and network key of your wireless router. The SSID and network key may be indicated on these networking devices. Check your devices and write down thenecessary information before setting up the connection. For more information, see the instruction manuals for yournetworking devices or contact your manufacturer.
SSIDA name given for identifying a  speci4c wireless LAN. Some other terms used for SSID include
"access point name" and "network name."
Network Key
A keyword or password used for encrypting data or authenticating a network. Some other
terms used for network key include "encryption key," "WEP key," "WPA/WPA2 passphrase,"
and "preshared key (PSK)."
Wireless Security
Protocols
(Authentication/
Encryption)
When manually setting up a wireless connection by specifying detailed settings, you need to
specify security settings. Check the following information:
	 Security types (WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
	 Authentication method (Open System/Shared Key)
	 Encryption method (TKIP/AES-CCMP)
	CChecking the SSID and Network Key from a Computer
The SSID or the network key may have been changed. If you do not know the SSID or the network key, you can check
them by using the Canon MF/LBP Wireless Setup Assistant included with the provided DVD-ROM. The Canon MF/LBP Wireless Setup Assistant can be used on a computer connected to a wireless LAN.

							SettingIPAddresses
1469-06C
Connecting the machine to a network requires a unique network IP address. Two versions of IP addresses are available: IPv4 and IPv6.  Con4gure these settings depending on the network environment. To use IPv6 addresses, you
need to properly  con4gure the IPv4 address settings.

							SettingIPv4Address
1469-06E
 The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IPaddressing 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  4rmly
inserted into the ports ( 
ConnectingtoaWiredLAN(P.318) ). You can test the
network connection if necessary.

							SettingIPv6Addresses
1469-06F
 The IPv6 addresses of the machine can be con4gured via the Remote UI. Before
setting IPv6 addresses, check the IPv4 address settings ( 
ViewingIPv4
Settings(P.344) ). You need to set the correct IPv4 settings to use IPv6 addresses.
Note that the scan function that uses the scanner driver or MF Scan Utility is not
available in an IPv6 environment. The machine can use up to nine of the following IPv6 addresses:
TypeMaximum number
availableDescriptionLink-local address1An address that is only valid within a subnet or link and cannot be used to communicate with devices beyond a router. A link-local address is automatically setwhen the IPv6 function of the machine is enabled.Manual address1An address that is entered manually. When using this address, specify the  pre4x
length and default router address.Stateless address6An address that is generated automatically using the MAC address of the machine and the network  pre4x that is advertised by the router. Stateless addresses are
discarded when the machine is restarted (or turned ON).Stateful address1An address obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6.
