mDNS and DNS-SD are two additional protocols: Multicast DNS and DNS
Service Discovery. They are used for device communication in zero configura-
tion networks working without DNS and DHCP
Ping Client
Ping is a utility that verifies the connection between the LXI-compliant instrument
and another device. The ping command uses the
ICMP
echo request and echo
reply packets to determine whether the LAN connection is functional. Ping is use-
ful for diagnosing IP network or router failures. The ping utility is not password-
protected.
To initiate a ping between the LXI-compliant instrument and a second connected
device:
1. Enable "ICMP Ping" on the "Advanced LAN Configuration" page (enabled
after an LCI).
2. Enter the IP address of the second device
without the ping command and
without any further parameters
into the "Destination Address" field (e.g.
10.113.10.203
).
3. Select "Submit".

How to Change the GPIB Instrument Address
In order to operate the instrument via remote control, it must be addressed using
the GPIB address. The remote control address is factory-set to 20, but it can be
changed if it does not fit in the network environment. For remote control,
addresses 0 through 30 are allowed. The GPIB address is maintained after a
reset of the instrument settings.
To change the GPIB address
1. In the R&S
FPS's mini display menu, navigate to "GPIB" > "GPIB address"
and press the ENTER key.
2. Enter the required address: Use the <Up Arrow> and <Down Arrow> keys to
scroll through the digits 1-10 and the <Left Arrow> and <Right Arrow> keys to
move between the first and second digits.
3. Press the ENTER key again to store the entry and exit the edit mode.
