Keysight 34980A Mainframe User’s Guide
Host Name
The Host Name is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into an
IP address.
If you change the Host Name, you must cycle power on the 34980A to activate
the new setting.
– The default Host Name for the 34980A is “A-34980A-
nnnnn
”, where
nnnnn
represents the last five digits of the instrument’s serial number.
– If Dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) is available on your network and your
instrument uses DHCP, the Host Name is registered with the Dynamic DNS
service at power-on.
– If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP server can change the specified Host Name.
– The Host Name is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
power has been off, after a Factory Reset (
*RST
command), or after an
Instrument Preset (
SYSTem:PRESet
command).
