Hostname - TDK-Lambda Z+ series User Manual

4.5 Hostname

The hostname is a text address instead of a numeric address (for example: Z10-40-29B). This
address mode is less common than the IP address because the hostname cannot be viewed from
the front panel, and because a naming service (such as NetBIOS) must be running in the LAN
computer.
A custom hostname can be created through the web pages (see section 6.6.2). For example,
changing the hostname to "LAMBDA". The control program then sends a command to "LAMBDA".
After a "LAN Reset" is done (see section 5.3), the power supply will create a default hostname
based on the model and serial number of the power supply.
The default hostname is in the format:
< Product > < Voltage rating > – < Current rating > – < last 3 digits of serial number >
For example:
Model
Z
10-40-LAN
Z
100-4.5-LAN
The power supply may be set to one of three network modes, each with a different way to use
the hostname. This is shown in the table below.
