DNS
DNS (Domain Name Service) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. The DNS server
address is the IP address of a server that performs this service.
– Normally, DHCP discovers DNS address information; you only need to change this if DHCP is unused or not
functional. Contact your LAN administrator for details.
– This setting is non-volatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST or SYSTem:PRESet.
1. Press Utilities > I/O Config > LAN Settings > AutoDNS On to configure the addressing of the instrument in DNS
server automatically.
2. Press Utilities > I/O Config > LAN Settings > AutoDNS Off to configure the addressing of the instrument manu-
ally.
3. Select DNS(1) Addr and DNS(2) Addr using the navigation keys. These fields only appear when AutoDNS is set
to Off.
4. Set the desired primary and secondary address and press Back.
5. Select mDNS Service field using the navigation keys.
6. Press Yes to save the setting.
7. Press No to cancel all the changes and exit without saving.
DNS Hostname
A hostname is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into an IP address.
Each power supply is shipped with a default hostname with the format: Keysight-modelnumber-serialnumber,
where modelnumber is the power supply’s 6-character model number (e.g. E36154A), and serialnumber is the last
five characters of the 10-character power supply serial number located on the label on the top of the unit (e.g.
45678 if the serial number is MY12345678).
– The instrument receives a unique hostname at the factory, but you may change it. The hostname must be
unique on the LAN.
– The name must start with letter; other characters can be an upper- or lower-case letters, numeric digits, or
dashes ("-").
– This setting is non-volatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST or SYSTem:PRESet.
1. Press Utilities > I/O Config > LAN Settings.
2. Select DNS Hostname field using the navigation keys. Press
and enter the hostname with the keyboard
provided. Press Back.
3. Press Yes to save the setting.
4. Press No to cancel all the changes and exit without saving.
