5.3.6 Hostname
Each IP-capable EPL node possesses a hostname. The hostname can be used to
access EPL nodes with its name instead of its IP address.
Valid values:
-
0x30…0x39
(0…9)
-
0x41…0x5A
(A…Z)
-
0x61…0x6A
(a…z)
-
0x2D

The data are interpreted as ISO 646-1973(E) 7-bit coded characters. The default
hostname is constructed from the EPL Node-ID and the Vendor-ID parted by the
character “-“: (<EPL Node ID>-<Vendor ID>). EPL Node-ID and the Vendor-ID are
hexadecimally coded.
If no hostname is explicitly assigned, the EPL node uses the default hostname
instead. The hostname located on the EPL node can be set with the NMT Managing
command
NMTNetHostNameSet
. For this the EPL node must be in the state
NMT_GS_INITIALISATION
. The hostname can be read by the ASnd with the
IdentResponse
service.
