Using hostnames
In a LAN that uses a domain name system (DNS) server, each connected com-
puter or instrument can be accessed via an unambiguous hostname instead of an
IP address. The DNS server translates the hostname to the IP address. Using the
hostname is especially useful when a DHCP server is used, as a new IP address
can be assigned each time the instrument is restarted.
Each sensor module is delivered with a default hostname assigned. You can
change the default hostname.
Default hostname
The default hostname follows the syntax:
<device name>-<serial number>
, where:
●
<device name>
is the short name of your sensor module.
For example, the
<device name>
of R&S
NRPM3N is
nrpm3n
.
●
<serial number>
is the individual serial number of the sensor module. The
serial number is printed on the name plate at the rear side of the sensor mod-
ule. It is part of the device ID printed above the barcode:
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.
