After
upgrading
the
WinInet
API
(by
upgrading
to
IE
7),
the
library
RMU
can
be
accessed
from
the
browser
by
using
the
following
format.
–
Replace
all
:
with
-
.
–
Append
s<interface#>.ipv6-literal.net
to
the
end
of
the
IPv6
address.
–
For
example,
if
the
IPv6
address
is
fe80::1234:5678:abc
and
the
interface
number
is
13
,
the
address
to
browse
to
would
be
http://fe80--1234-5678-
abcs13.ipv6-literal.net
.
v
Using
the
same
IPv6
address
as
above,
another
alternative
to
this
would
be
to
edit
the
hosts
file
in
the
<Windows
Base
Directory\system32\drivers\etc\
directory
and
add
the
following
line:
fe80::1234:5678:abc%13<hostname>
.
–
The
address
to
browse
to
would
be
HYPERLINK
″http://%3chostname%3e/
″http://<hostname>
–
Note
that
the
interface
number
can
change
with
a
reboot
of
the
Windows
host.
Windows
2008/Vista
Windows
2008
and
Vista
natively
support
IPv6.
Also,
interface
numbers
have
been
removed
from
these
versions
of
Windows.
All
that
is
needed
to
browse
to
an
address
would
be
to
add
brackets
([])
around
the
IPv6
address.
Thus,
if
the
TL2000/4000
IPv6
address
is
fe80::1234:5678:abc
,
enter
http://[fe80::1234:5678:abc]
into
the
browser
window.
This
is
applicable
for
both
link-local
and
global
unicast
IPv6
addresses.
Notes
on
IPv6
Compatibility
with
Linux
1.
While
IPv6
is
supported
under
Linux,
IPv6
literals
for
link-local
addresses
are
not
currently
supported
in
Linux
browsers,
so
the
RMU
will
not
be
accessible
in
Linux
via
a
link-local
IPv6
address.
Global
unicast
IPv6
addresses
are
supported
in
the
same
manner
as
in
Windows
2008/Vista
browsers.
2.
The
RMU
will
still
be
accessible
through
IPv4.
