To assign the IP address manually on the instrument
1.
NOTICE!
Connecting to the network can cause network failure. Errors can affect
the entire network.
Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks:
● Connecting the instrument to the network
● Configuring the network
● Changing IP addresses
2. Select "System Config > Remote Access > Network".
3. Select "Address Mode > Static".
4. Select the "IP Address".
5. Enter the IP address, for example

How to use computer names (hostnames)
In a LAN that uses a DNS server, each PC or instrument connected in the LAN can be
accessed via an unambiguous computer name (
hostname
) instead of the IP address.
The DNS server translates the hostname to the IP address. It is especially useful when
a DHCP server is used, as a new IP address can be assigned each time the instru-
ment is restarted.
Each instrument is delivered with an assigned computer name, that remains perma-
nent as long as it is not explicitly changed.
The default computer name follows the syntax
<INST>-<Serial Number>
, where:
●
<INST>
is the short name of your instrument, as stated on the front panel.
●
<Serial Number>
is the individual serial number of the instrument.
You can find the serial number at the rear panel of instrument. It is the third part of
the device ID printed on the barcode sticker .
