Using computer names
In a LAN that uses a DNS server (Domain Name System server), each PC or instru-
ment in the LAN can be accessed via an unambiguous device name (or host name,
computer name) instead of the IP address. The DNS server translates the host name
to the IP address. Device names are useful when a DHCP server is used, as a new IP
address can be assigned each time the instrument is restarted.
Each instrument is delivered with an assigned computer name, but this name can be
changed.
The default instrument name is a non-case-sensitive string with the following syntax:
<Type><variant>-<serial_number>
The serial number can be found on the rear panel of the instrument. It is the third part
of the device ID printed on the bar code sticker:
To change the device name
1. Open the "Menu" > "Settings" dialog.
2. Open the "System" dialog.
3. Select the "Network" tab.
4. Enter the new "Device name" and confirm the entry.
