Network setup mode: Mode-With the LXI option (/C9, /C12)
The LXI option gives the DL9000 support for the LXI protocol, in which IP addresses
can be assigned automatically without the specification of a DHCP server. The following
information is assigned automatically when you set the network setup mode to Auto.
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
• DNS
• WINS
• Domain name
If Mode is set to Auto, when the power is turned on for example, each time a Bind
operation is executed different values may be assigned. To connect a PC to the DL9000,
you need to check the configuration such as the IP address of the instrument on the PC
every time the device is turned on or every time a Bind operation.
DNS (Domain Name System)
DNS is a system used to associate names used on the Internet called host names and
domain names with IP addresses. 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, the host name and
domain name can be used to access the network.
The DL9000 allows you to specify the host by name, instead of by IP address.
You set the domain name, and the DNS server address (0.0.0.0 by default). For details,
consult your network administrator.

DNS Server: DNS1/DNS2
Up to two DNS server addresses can be specified (primary and secondary). If
query processing fails with the primary DNS server, the secondary DNS server is
automatically looked up for the mapping of the host name/domain name and IP
address.
•
Domain name: DomainName
Domain name is a piece of information to be added to a host name on query to the
DNS server.
WINS(Windows Internet Name Service)
WINS is a service that associates a NetBIOS name with an IP address of computer on
the Windows network. WINS allows you to connect the DL9000 to the network in the
various segments.
