Configuring IPv6 Settings
Your Sarix device supports IPv6 in conjunction with IPv4 configurations; the device does not support IPv6-only network
deployments. The device will accept up to sixteen IPv6 addresses, three IPv6 DNS servers, and three IPv6 gateways.
There are two configuration modes for IPv6 address assignments:
Auto: Enables automatic configuration using router advertisement. Additional configuration can be provided over DHCPv6 (if
available on your network). Selecting Auto mode still allows you to manually configure additional IPv6 addresses, DNS servers,
and gateways.
Manual Only: Provides a link-local IPv6 address for the device and allows you to assign up to 16 static IPv6 addresses to the
device.
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Network tab.
2. Select General from the drop-down menu.
3. Select On for IPv6.
4. Select a Configuration Mode from the drop-down box. Selecting Auto allows the device to configure the remaining IPv6
settings automatically, rendering the remaining steps optional.
5. (Optional) Provide static, unicast addresses in the Manual IP Addresses box. Each address requires a prefix, and it must be
input using the format prefix/IPv6Address. Manual IP addresses without prefix information will be rejected.
6. (Optional) Provide the addresses of DNS servers that are not configured automatically in the Manual DNS Servers box.
7. (Optional) Provide the addresses of gateways that are not configured automatically in the Manual Gateways box.
NOTES:
• The device will not accept multicast, localhost, or undefined IPv6 addresses.
• Link-local addresses are not supported for DNS.
• Manually specified DNS servers supersede automatically discovered DNS servers.
• Manually specified DNS servers are not validated by the device; verify any manually specified DNS servers before saving IPv6
settings.
• Manually specified gateways must be on the same network as the devices’ IPv6 addresses. Behavior for a gateway that is not
on the same network as the device’s IPv6 addresses is undefined.
• Some video management systems (VMS), including Pelco VMS systems, do not support connections to cameras and
encoders over IPv6.
2.2.2.2 Users & Security
Use the Users & Security tab to create and manage user accounts and to change the way the camera manages the user
settings.
User Management
User accounts are created to limit the permissions of individuals who are logged onto the camera. The User Management page
also includes four predefined access level settings that include Administrators, Managers, Operators, and Viewers permissions.
