Change DNS settings
On the instrument, you can enable or disable the DNS settings and assign a host name to the DNS
server.
When verify is enabled, the instrument performs a DNS lookup to verify that the DNS host name
matches the value specified in the DNS server.
When dynamic is enabled, DNS registration works with the DHCP server to register the host name
specified with the DNS server.
You can also define additional DNS addresses.
To change DNS settings:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > CONFIG > DNS > VERIFY.
2. Select either ENABLE or DISABLE. You return to the DNS menu.
3. Select DYNAMIC.
4. Select either ENABLE or DISABLE. You return to the DNS menu.
5. To set an additional DNS addresses, select DNS-ADDRESS1 or DNS-ADDRESS2.
6. Enter the address.
7. Press the ENTER key.
8. Press the EXIT key twice to return to the LAN MENU.
9. Select APPLY.
Change the IP configuration through the web interface
The LAN settings, such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS address, can be changed
through the web page of the instrument.
If you change the IP address through the web page, the web page will try to redirect to the IP address
that gets configured in the instrument. In some cases, this may fail. This generally happens if you
switch from a static IP address assignment to using a DHCP server. If this happens, you need to
revert to either using the front panel to set the IP address or use an automatic discovery tool to
determine the new IP address.
