Auto Configuration (IPv6 Standard)
The TPR can have an IPv4 address and several IPv6 addresses at the
same time. The IPv6 standard is used to automatically assign IP
addresses in IPv6 networks. When connected to an IPv6 network, the
TPR will automatically obtain an additional link-local IPv6 address.
The TPR uses the link-local IP address to search for a router. The TPR
sends so-called 'Router Solicitations' (RS) to the special multicast
address FF02::2. The available router will then return a 'Router
Advertisement' (RA) containing the required information.
With a prefix from the range of the globally unique addresses, the
TPR can compose its own address. It simply replaces the first 64 bits
(prefix FE80::) with the prefix that was sent in the RA.

InterCon-NetTool
The InterCon-NetTool has been developed by SEH Computertechnik
GmbH for the administration of SEH network devices. The IP Wizard
of the InterCon-NetTool helps you to configure the TCP/IP
parameters, e.g. the IP address. You can manually enter the desired
IPv4 address and save it in the TPR using the IP Wizard. To configure
an IPv4 address via the InterCon-NetTool, see:
TPR Control Center
You can manually enter the desired IP address and save it in the TPR
using the TPR Control Center.
