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 will use the manual 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 is 4 decimal numbers separated by periods.
Each decimal number ranges from 0 through 255. If the IP
Address is changed, the instrument must be rebooted for
this change to be effective.
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. If the Subnet Mask is
changed, the instrument must be rebooted for this
change to be effective.
Default
Gateway
This value is the IP Address of the default gateway that
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. If the Default Gateway is changed,
the instrument must be rebooted for this change to be
effective.
DNS DNS is an internet service that translates domain names
into IP addresses. This parameter indicates whether the
IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server is
obtained automatically or manually. If the parameter is
set to Auto, the DNS server address is obtained from
DHCP. If the parameter is set to Manual, the DNS server
in the following field is used.
DNS Server This value is the address of the Domain Name System
(DNS) server. If DHCP is disabled, the DNS server
parameter is needed for the instrument to be able to find
and display its Hostname.
Naming
service
This parameter specifies the Naming service, if any, to be
used to register the instrument. NetBIOS indicates the
instrument will be registered using the RFC NetBIOS
naming protocol. Dynamic DNS indicates the instrument
will be registered using the Dynamic DNS naming system.
