4.7.4.4
IP Addresses
The simplest and most reliable way to open a network connection is via the power supply's IP
address, which is represented by a group of four numbers separated by periods (i.e.
10.1.15.123).
The power supply can receive an IP address in three modes:
IP Mode Select
Assignment
Range
Lifetime
Duplicate
Addresses
4.7.4.5
Hostname
The hostname is an address in the form of name instead of IP address (i.e. G10-40). This address
mode is less common than the IP address because the hostname cannot be viewed from the front
panel, and because a naming service (such as NetBIOS or DNS) must be running in the LAN
computer.
The default hostname has the following format:
< Product Series Name> < Voltage rating > – < Current rating >.
