Use a hostname to access an instrument with a static IP address
This procedure requires a DNS server in the network the GR/GM Series is connected to. As a result the assigned hostname
can be used to access the receiver within the network. If no DHCP server is available all network parameters have to be
entered manually. Please contact your network administrator to get valid parameters.
If no DHCP is available in the network the instrument is connected to, a static IP address must be used. This IP address can
then be associated with a hostname using a DNS server. The hostname can be manually configured on the instrument. Per
default the hostname on the GR/GM receiver is GRxxxxxxx or GMxxxxxxx, where "xxxxxxx" is the serial number of the GR/GM
receiver.
