Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along with
other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast router
solicitation request for configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers respond to this request
with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration parameters.
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.
2. Click IP > IPv6.
3. Under Protocol, select Enabled to enable the protocol.
4. Under Stateless Addresses, enable Use Router Supplied Prefixes to allow the router to assign
address prefixes.
5. Under Default Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Settings, select how DHCP operates for
IPv6. Options are:

Note: Enabling FIPS 140 Mode can prevent the printer from communicating with network devices
that communicate using protocols that do not use FIPS-compliant encryption algorithms.
FIPS 140-2
You can enable the printer to check the current configuration to ensure that transmitted and stored data
is encrypted as specified in Government Standard FIPS 140-2 (Level 1). If FIPS 140-2 encryption is
required, all computers, serves, browser software, security certificates, and applications must comply with
the standard or operate in FIPS-compliant mode.
To allow the printer to use non-FIPS compliant protocols or features when FIPS 140 mode is enabled,
acknowledge the notification of non-compliance during the validation process.
When non-FIPS compliant protocols, such as SNMPv3 or NetWare, are enabled after FIPS mode is
enabled, a message appears indicating the protocols use non-FIPS compliant encryption algorithms.
When you enable FIPS-140 mode, the printer validates the current configuration by performing the
following checks:
Validates certificates for features where the printer is the server in the client-server relationship. An
SSL certificate for HTTPS is an example.

Security
Note: When you enable HTTPS, a Xerox® Device Certificate is automatically created and installed on
the printer.
Security Certificates
A digital certificate is a file that contains data used to verify the identity of the client or server in a
network transaction. A certificate also contains a public key used to create and verify digital signatures.
One device proves its identity to another by presenting a certificate trusted by the other device. Or, the
device can present a certificate signed by a trusted third party and a digital signature proving its
ownership of the certificate.
A digital certificate includes the following data:
Information about the owner of the certificate
The certificate serial number and expiration date
The name and digital signature of the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued the certificate
A public key
A purpose defining how the certificate and public key can be used
There are three types of certificates:
Device Certificate: A certificate for which the printer has a private key, and the purpose specified in
the certificate allows it to be used to prove identity.
CA Certificate: A certificate with authority to sign other certificates.
Trusted Certificate: A self-signed certificate from another device that you want to trust.
To ensure that the printer can communicate with other devices over a secure trusted connection, both
devices must have certain certificates installed.
For protocols such as HTTPS, the printer is the server, and must prove its identity to the client Web
browser. For protocols such as 802.1X, the printer is the client, and must prove its identity to the
authentication server, typically a RADIUS server. For features that use these protocols, perform the
following two tasks:
Install a device certificate on the printer.
Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the device certificate of the printer on the
other device.
Protocols such as LDAP and IPsec require both devices to prove their identity to each other.
For features that use these protocols, perform the tasks listed under one of the following options:
Option 1
Install a device certificate on the printer.
Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the device certificate of the printer on the
other device.
Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the certificate of the other device on
the printer.

Note: Creating a Xerox® Device Certificate is less secure than creating a certificate signed by a
trusted CA. If you do not have a server functioning as a Certificate Authority, install a Xerox® Device
Certificate on the printer. Then install the Generic Xerox® Trusted CA Certificate on the other devices.
Option 2
If the other device is using a self-signed certificate, install a copy of the trusted certificate of the other
device on the printer.
Installing a Digital Certificate
There are three ways to install a certificate on the printer:
Create and install a Xerox
Create a Xerox® Device Certificate to allow the printer to generate a certificate, sign it, and create a
public key used in SSL encryption. Install the Xerox® Device Certificate on the printer, and install the
Generic Xerox® Trusted CA Certificate in the devices that the printer communicates with. Examples
of other devices are client Web browsers for HTTPS, or RADIUS authentication server for 802.1X.
Installing this certificate ensures that users can access the printer using CentreWare Internet
Services, and certificate warning messages do not appear.

UNIX, Linux, and AS/400 Printing
UNIX-based printing uses LPD/LPR port 515 or lp to port 9100 to provide printer spooling and network
print server functionality. Xerox® printers can communicate using either protocol.
Xerox® Services for UNIX Systems
Xerox® Services for UNIX Systems (XSUS) is an application that allows you to manage and print to
multiple printers in UNIX and Linux environments. XSUS allows you to:
Configure and check the status of network connected printers.
Set up a printer on your network as well as monitor the operation of the printer once installed.
Perform maintenance checks and view supplies status at any time.
Provide a common look and feel across the many different suppliers of UNIX and Linux
operating systems.
Supported Printing Models
Workstation-to-printer (Peer-to-Peer): Print jobs are processed and spooled locally on your
computer, then sent directly to the printer. XSUS must be installed on each computer.
Workstation-to-Server (Client-Server): Print jobs are processed and spooled on your computer, then
sent to the printer. Install XSUS on both the server and the computer.
Server Based: Print jobs are sent unprocessed from your computer, spooled on the server, then sent
to the printer. Install XSUS on the server only. Individual computers can set up a generic lp or lpr
queue and point to the queue on the print server.
Network Information Service (NIS) Based: NIS uses a printer configuration map on the server. As
new printer queues are added to a print server, only the configuration file in the master NIS server is
updated. NIS clients can then print to any of the queues listed on the server map without setting up
local queues.
For more information on how to set up NIS-based printing, see your UNIX or Linux operating
system documentation.

XeroxHPUXXPXX_x.xx.xx.tgz to support HP workstations.
XeroxLinuxi386XPXX_x.xx.xx.tgz to support Linux environments.
XeroxSolarisXPXX_x.xx.xx.tgz for Sun Solaris systems.
2. At the UNIX command line, type gzip -dfv {filename.tgz} then press Return or Enter. The filename
must include a .tgz extension.
3. Type tar -xvf {filename.tgz} then press Return or Enter.
4. The files are expanded and two directories are created with names that match the print driver and
Printer Model Package .tgz file names. Perform the expansion steps for both .tgz files.
5. Change to the directory created by the expansion of the Code .tgz file.
6. On the command line, type ./setup then press Return or Enter.
7. Change to the directory created by the expansion of the Printer Definition .tgz file.

2. To print to a specific printer in Berkeley, type: lpr -Pprinter filename, then click Enter.
AS/400
Xerox® provides Work Station Customization Object (WSCO) files to support AS/400 or Iseries, V5R2 or
later systems. The WSCO file provides printer-specific PCL codes. The host print transform uses these
codes to select the correct tray, 2-sided option, font size and type, and orientation.
The XTOOLSxxxx library provides a source WSCO for each supported Xerox® printer or device. You only
download and install the library once.
Installing the WSCO and Setting up Print Queues
For detailed instructions on installing the library and setting up print queues, refer to the installation
instructions that are included with the library.
