Example:
Serial number of the R&S
NRPM3N: 102333
Default hostname: NRPM3N-102333
Hostname in zero configuration networks, including peer-to-peer networks
The sensor module supports zero configuration networking, used in networks
without DHCP server, such as peer-to-peer networks. Thus, you can connect the
sensor module to a network without setting up services such as dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP) and domain name system (DNS), or configuring
the network settings manually.
For establishing a connection to the sensor module, try the default hostname and
the hostname extended with
.local
as shown in the example below. All commu-
nication for resolving names in the top-level-domain (TLD)
.local
are defined to
be executed using dedicated local services and ports if no other DNS (domain
name server) is available.
Example:
Default hostname:
nrpm3n-102333
Extended hostname:
nrpm3n-102333.local

Assigning the IP address
Depending on the network capabilities, the TCP/IP address information for the
R&S
NRPM3N LAN sensor module can be obtained in different ways:
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP), the address information can be assigned auto-
matically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the R&S
NRPM3N LAN sensor module
tries to obtain the IP address via the zeroconf (APIA) protocol. If this attempt
does not succeed or if the instrument is set to use alternate TCP/IP configura-
tion, the IP address must be set manually.
