Enable AutoIP This parameter allows automatic IP addressing to be
enabled or disabled. AutoIP automatically assigns
addresses on networks that do not have a DHCP server. If
AutoIP is enabled (On), an IP address, Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway will automatically be assigned
to the instrument. If AutoIP is disabled (Off), the
instrument uses the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway specified in the following fields during power-on.
IP Address This value is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the
instrument. An IP address is required for all IP and
TCP/IP communications with the instrument. An IP
Address consists of 4 decimal numbers separated by
periods. Each decimal number ranges from 0 through 255.
Subnet Mask This value is used to enable the instrument to determine
if a client IP address is on the same local subnet. When a
client IP address is on a different subnet, all packets must
be sent to the Default Gateway.
Default This value is the IP Address of the default gateway that
Gateway allows the instrument to communicate with systems that
are not on the local subnet, as determined by the subnet
mask setting. A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default
gateway is defined.
Select Name to configure the hostname of the instrument. If you want
to change the hostname, you should do so before you connect the
instrument to the network. Otherwise, the original hostname may be
cached in the network for up to several hours. The configurable
parameters include:
Hostname This field registers the supplied name with the selected
naming service. If the field is left blank, then no name is
registered. A hostname may contain upper and lower
case letters, numbers and dashes(-). The maximum length
is 15 characters. Use the navigation keys to enter an
alpha character. Use the up/down navigation or arrow
keys to select a letter from the alphabetic choices as you
scroll through the selections. Use the number keys to
enter a number.
Each power system is shipped with a default hostname
with the format: A-modelnumber-serialnumber, where
modelnumber is the mainframe's 6-character model
number (e.g. N6700B), and serialnumber is the last five
characters of the 10-character mainframe serial number
located on the label on the top of the unit (e.g. 45678 if
the serial number is MY12345678).
A-N6700B-45678 is an example of a hostname.
