DNS
Select DNS to configure the Domain Name System (DNS) setup of the
instrument. DNS is an internet service that translates domain names
into IP addresses. It is also needed for the instrument to find and
display its hostname assigned by the network.
Select this item to obtain the DNS server address from DHCP. You must
from DHCP have enabled DHCP in the IP menu.
Select this item if you are not using DHCP or need to connect to a specific
DNS server.
This value is the address of the DNS server. It is used if you are not using
DHCP or if you need to connect to a specific DNS server.
For improved performance when connected to an isolated subnet, select Use
the following DNS server. However, leave the DNS server address field blank.
TCP
Select TCP to configure the TCP keepalive settings of the instrument.
Enable TCP Check the Enable box to enable the TCP keepalive function. The instrument
Keepalive uses the TCP keepalive timer to determine if a client is still reachable. If
there has been no activity on the connection after the specified time, the
instrument will send keepalive probes to the client to determine if it is still
alive. If not, the connection will be marked as down or "dropped." The
instrument will release any resources that were allocated to that client.
This is the delay in seconds before TCP keepalive probes will be sent to the
timeout client. It is recommended that the largest value be used that still meets the
application's need for unreachable client detection. Smaller keepalive time-
out values will generate more keepalive probes (network traffic), using more
of the available network bandwidth. Allowed values: 720 - 99999 seconds.
Reset
Resets the LAN settings to the factory-shipped state. These settings
are listed at the end of this chapter.
