Hostname This field registers the supplied name with the selected
naming service. If the field is left blank, then no name is
registered. A Hostname may contain upper and lower
case letters, numbers and dashes(-). The maximum length
is 15 characters. The factory default is A-modelnumber-
serialnumber. Modelnumber is the instrument’s 6-
character model number, and serialnumber is 5th through
the 9th character of the 10-character serial number
located on the label on the side of the unit.
Domain This field registers the Internet domain for the
instrument. The Domain must start with a letter and may
contain upper and lower case letters, numbers, dashes(-)
and dots(.).
Description This field lets you assign a user-friendly name to the

instrument home page.
LAN
Keepalive
Timeout
This value sets the LAN keepalive in seconds. The
instrument uses the TCP keepalive timer to determine if a
client is still reachable. If after the specified amount of
time, there has been no activity on the connection, 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.
When this parameter is set, it is recommended that the
largest value be used that still meets the application's
need for unreachable client detection. Smaller LAN
Keepalive values will generate more keepalive probes
(network traffic), using more of the available network
bandwidth. Check the Enable box to enable the Lan
Keepalive function. Allowed values: 720 - 99999 seconds.
