With this box checked, the instrument will first try to obtain an IP address
from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is found, the DHCP server will assign
an IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway to the instrument. If a
DHCP server is unavailable, the instrument will try to obtain an IP address
using AutoIP. AutoIP automatically assigns an IP address, Subnet Mask,
and Default Gateway on networks that do not have a DHCP server.
With this box unchecked, you can configure the addresses manually by
entering values in the following three fields.
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.
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 allows the
Gateway
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.
Host Name
This field registers the supplied name with the selected naming service. If
the field is left blank, no name is registered. A hostname may contain upper
and lower case letters, numbers and dashes(-). The maximum length is 15
characters. Use the numeric/alpha keys to enter letters or numbers.
Repeatedly pressing a key cycles through the list of choices. After a short
delay the cursor automatically moves to the right.
Each DC Power Analyzer is shipped with a default hostname with the
format: A-modelnumber-serialnumber, where modelnumber is the
mainframe's 6-character model number (e.g. N6705B), 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-N6705B-45678 is an example of a hostname.
Registers the hostname using the Dynamic DNS naming system.
Registers the hostname using the RFC NetBIOS naming protocol.
naming
Registers the Internet domain for the instrument. This is required
DNS server requires an instrument to register not only the hostname, but
also the domain name. The Domain must start with a letter and may contain
upper and lower case letters, numbers, dashes(-) and dots(.). Use the
numeric/alpha keys to enter letters or numbers. Repeatedly pressing a key
cycles through the list of choices. After a short delay the cursor
automatically moves to the right.
