Auto Automatically configures instrument addressing. When selected, 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 addresses on networks that do not
have a DHCP server.
Manual Manually configures instrument addressing by entering values in the three fields (listed below) that only appear when
Manual is selected.
IP
Address Specifies the instrument's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is required for all IP and TCP/IP communications with
the instrument. An IP Address is of the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where each nnn is a decimal number from 0 to 255 with
no leading zeros (for example, 169.254.2.20).
Subnet
Mask Allows the instrument to determine whether a client IP address is on the same local subnet. The same numbering nota-
tion applies as for the IP Address. When a client IP address is on a different subnet, all packets must be sent to the
Default Gateway.
DEF
Gateway Specifies the IP Address of the default gateway that allows the instrument to communicate with systems not on the
local subnet, as determined by the subnet mask setting. The same numbering notation applies as for the IP Address. A
value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default gateway is defined.
Dot-notation addresses ("nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where "nnn" is a value from 0 to 255) must be
expressed with care, as most PC web software interprets byte values with leading zeros as octal
(base 8) numbers. For example, "192.168.020.011" is actually equivalent to decimal "192.168.16.9"
because ".020" is interpreted as "16" expressed in octal, and ".011" as "9". To avoid confusion, use
decimal values from 0 to 255, without leading zeros.
Host Name
A host name is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into an IP address.
Front Panel SCPI Command
[Menu] > System > IO > LAN > Modify > Name
You can enter any value from the numeric keypad. For additional characters, use the up/down
navigation keys to enter an alpha character by scrolling through the selection list that appears when
you press the keys. Use the left/right navigation keys to traverse the text field. Use the backspace
key to delete a value. Press [Enter] when you are finished.
Not available
Host Name - This field registers the supplied name with the selected naming service. The name may
contain upper and lower case letters, numbers, and dashes (-). If the field is left blank, no name is
registered. The maximum length is 15 characters.
Each instrument is shipped with a default host name with the format: K-modelnumber-serialnumber,
where modelnumber is the unit’s 7-character model number (e.g. AC6803B), and serialnumber is the
last five characters of the 10-character serial number located on the label on the top of the unit, for
example 45678.
