Hostname
Displays the hostname.
Each instrument is delivered with an assigned hostname, a logical name which can be
used instead of the IP address. With the default network settings, the IP address is
allocated by the DHCP server. This address can change each time the instrument is
reconnected. Unlike the IP address, the hostname name does not change.
Note:
This function is password-protected. Unlock the protection level 1 to access it.
●
We recommend that you do not change the default network settings or the host-
name to avoid problems with the network connection.
If you change the hostname, be sure to use a unique name.
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:COMMon]:HOSTname
Workgroup
Sets the individual windows workgroup name of the R&S
AREG800A. This parameter
is required in case the instrument is integrated in a windows network.
This function is password-protected. Unlock the protection level 1 to access it.
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:COMMon]:WORKgroup
Address Mode
Selects the mode for assigning the IP address.
Chapter 10.7.4, "How to assign the IP address"
"Auto (DCHP)"
Assigns the IP address automatically, provided the network supports
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
"Static"
Enables you to assign the IP address manually.
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork:IPADdress:MODE
IP Address
Displays the IP address of the instrument in the network.
By default, the R&S
AREG800A is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration
and to obtain the whole address information automatically.
If the network does not support DHCP or the attempt does not succeed, the instrument
tries to obtain the IP address via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. IP addresses assigned via
Zeroconf start with the number blocks
169.254.*.*
.
Note:
An IP address that is assigned via the Zeroconf protocol although the network
requires an IP address assigned via the DHCP server can cause network connection
failures.
