E5810 Configuration
Parameter
Descriptions
An alphabetical listing of E5810 configuration parameter descriptions and
applicable default (factory-set) values follows. The E5810 uses the default
configuration values until you change any value and save/reboot. The
E5810 also uses the default values when you press and hold down the
Preset button for >10 seconds.
Parameter
[Default]
Description
Default Gateway
[0.0.0.0]
This value is the IP address of the default subnet gateway that allows the
E5810 to communicate with systems that are not on the local subnet.
This is the default subnet gateway where packets are sent which are
destined for a device not on the local subnet, as determined by the
subnet mask setting. Only one default subnet gateway can be configured.
A value of
0.0.0.0 indicates that no subnetting is to be done.
Description
[Factory-Set]
The default description consists of “E5810 LAN/GPIB Gateway” followed
by the Ethernet (MAC) address. The Ethernet address is printed on a
label on the underside of the E5810.
A typical description is:
Agilent E5810 00-30-D3-05-00-23, where
00-30-D3-05-00-23 is the Ethernet address. The description is the “UPnP
Friendly Name” of the E5810 that will automatically be displayed on
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) enabled LAN hosts.
When the E5810 is connected to the LAN, it broadcasts its presence to
the network if UPnP is enabled. UPnP clients will then see this E5810 in
My Network Places, listed by this Description. A Friendly Name can be up
to 39 characters, including spaces.
Domain Name
Server (DNS)
[0.0.0.0]
A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses and vice-versa. Every time you use a domain name, a DNS
Server must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.
For example, the domain name
www.example.com might translate to
198.105.232.4. The DNS system has its own network. If one DNS Server
does not know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another
DNS Server, etc. until the correct IP address is returned, if available.
