Example:
Serial number of the R&S NRQ6: 101441
Default hostname:
nrq6-101441
Hostname in zero configuration networks, including peer-to-peer networks
The R&S NRQ6 supports zero configuration networking, used in networks without
DHCP server, such as peer-to-peer networks. Thus, you can connect the
R&S
NRQ6 to a network without setting up services such as dynamic host config-
uration protocol (DHCP) and domain name system (DNS), or configuring the net-
work settings manually.
For establishing a connection to the R&S NRQ6, try the default hostname and the
hostname extended with
.local
as shown in the example below. All communi-
cation for resolving names in the top-level-domain (TLD)
.local
are defined to
be executed using dedicated local services and ports if no other DNS (domain
name server) is available.
Example:
Default hostname:
nrq6-101441
Extended hostname:
nrq6-101441.local
4.6.1.6 Assigning the IP Address
Depending on the network capabilities, the TCP/IP address information for the
R&S
NRQ6 is obtained in different ways:
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP), the address information is assigned automati-
cally.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the R&S NRQ6 tries to obtain the IP
address via the Zeroconf (APIPA = automatic private IP addressing) protocol.
If this attempt does not succeed or if the R&S NRQ6 is set to use alternate
TCP/IP configuration, you have to set the IP address manually.
For a description on how to set the IP address manually, refer to the user
manual.
