Scalar i3 Network Settings
Overview
The Network window shows library management interfaces and the IP protocol settings. You can use these settings to define how to access the library and how your library is identified on the network for library management
Each interface must be on a different subnet while gateway and netmask are used by both interfaces.

This window allows you to configure library Ethernet port connection settings.
- From the Navigation panel, select Network.
- In the North Panel, select the check box next to the network interface you want to configure.
-
In the Operations panel, click Port Settings.
Item Description Action Hostname/DNS Alias Allows you to enter a name/alias for the library. To use a DNS, you must have DNS servers identified (see DNS Settings)
Enter text. Auto Negotiate Determines optimal connection speed and duplex operation.
- Enabled - automatically determines the best speed and duplex operation.
- Disabled - user must define speed and duplex operation.
View only. Speed Indicates the connection speed to the library when Auto Negotiate is disabled:
- 10Mb/s
- 100Mb/s
- 1000Mb/s
View only. Duplex Indicates the type of connection to the library when Auto Negotiate is disabled:
- Full - can transmit and receive data at the same time.
- Half - can only either transmit or receive data at any given time.
View only. -

This windows allows you to configure the library Ethernet communication protocol for IPv4.
- From the Navigation panel, select Network.
- In the North Panel, select the check box next to the network interface you want to configure.
-
In the Operations panel, click IPv4.
Item Description Action Type Allows you to select the type of connection:
Static - manually entered IPv4 Protocol IP address.
DHCP - automatically assigns a dynamic IPv4 Protocol IP address.
Note: If you select DHCP, the other fields are not available for configuration.
Select the desired value from the drop-down menu. Address Shows the currently assigned IPv4 Protocol IP address. If you are using a Static connection type, allows you to manually enter an IP address for the library to use to connect to your network.
Enter text. Netmask Shows the currently assigned IPv4 Protocol netmask IP address. If you are using a Static connection type, allows you to manually enter a netmask for the library.
Enter text. Gateway Shows the currently assigned IPv4 Protocol gateway IP address. If you are using a Static connection type, allows you to manually enter a gateway IP address for the library.
Note: Scalar i3 supports a gateway definition for each interface.

This window allows you to configure the IPv6 connection between the library managed host and library.
Additional Information - IPv6
IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6 is the newest version of Internet Protocol. IPv6 improvements over IPv4 include:
- No NAT (Network Address Translation)
- Auto-configuration
- No more private address collisions
- Better routing
- Simpler header format
- More efficient routing
- True quality of service (QoS)
- Built-in authentication and privacy support
- Easier administration (no DHCP)
IPv6 Address Example
Unlike IPv4 addresses, which are 32-bit numeric addresses separated by periods, IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses written in hexadecimal and separated by colons. An example of an IPv6 address is: 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf
- From the Navigation panel, select Network.
- In the North Panel, select the check box next to the network interface you want to configure.
-
In the Operations panel, click IPv6.
Item Description Action Type Allows you to select the type of connection:
Stateful - DHCPv6 server assigns and tracks IPv6 addresses to all clients. Both DHCPv6 server and client maintain the state of the address. Similar to DHCP in IPv4.
Static - Manually enter IPv6 address.
Static/Stateful - Allows both static and stateful IPv6 address configuration.
Stateless - Allows host device to self configure its own IPv6 address and address based on the router advertisements.
Select the desired value from the drop-down menu. Address Shows the currently assigned IPv6 Protocol IP address. If you are using a Static connection type, you can enter an IP address for the library to use to connect to your network.
Enter text. Netmask Shows the currently assigned IPv6 Protocol netmask IP address. If you are using a Static connection type, you can enter a netmask for the library.
Enter text. Gateway Shows the currently assigned IPv6 Protocol gateway IP address. If you are using a Static connection type, you can enter a gateway IP address for the library.
Note: Scalar i3 supports a gateway definition for each interface.
