• IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
You can set the IP address assigned to this instrument. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
• The IP address is an ID that is assigned to each device on an IP network such as
the internet or an intranet.
• The address is a 32-bit value expressed using four octets (each 0 to 255), each
separated by a period as in [192.168.111.24].
• Obtain an IP address from your network administrator.
• This parameter is automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
• Subnet Mask
You can set the mask value used when determining the subnet network address from
the IP address. The default setting is 255.255.255.0.
• Huge TCP/IP networks such as the Internet are often divided up into smaller
networks called sub networks. The subnet mask is a 32 bit value that specifies
the number of bits of the IP address used to identify the network address. The
portion other than the network address is the host address that identifies individual
computers on the network.
• Consult your network administrator for the subnet mask value. You may not need to
set the value.
• This parameter is automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
• Default Gateway
You can set the IP address of the gateway (default gateway) used to communicate
with other networks. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
• The default gateway has control functions that handle protocol exchanges when
communicating with multiple networks, so that data transmission is carried out
smoothly.
• Consult your network administrator for the default gateway value. You may not
need to set the value.
• This parameter is automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
• DNS (Domain Name System)
The DNS is a system that correlates the host name/domain name to the IP address.
Given AAA.BBBBB.com, AAA is the host name and BBBBB.com is the domain name.
Instead of using the IP address, which is a sequence of numbers, a host name and
domain name can be used to access the network.
• Set the domain name, the DNS server address, and the domain suffix. If DHCP can
be used, the address can be automatically assigned.
• When accessing a network drive or a network printer from this instrument, a name
can be used to access the destination rather than an IP address.
• For details, consult your network administrator.
• Domain name
• Set the network domain name to which this instrument belongs.
• Enter up to 30 characters.
• The characters that can be used are 0-9, A-Z, %, _, ( ) (parentheses), - (minus
sign).
