3 Remote Interface Configuration
Default Gateway
A Default Gateway address allows the multimeter to communicate with
systems that are not on the local subnet. Thus, this is the Default Gateway
where packets are sent which are destined for a device not on the local subnet,
as determined by the Subnet Mask setting. Contact your network
administrator to determine if a gateway is being used and for the correct
address.
• Changing the Default Gateway setting will cause an automatic LAN reset.
• The default for the multimeter is “0.0.0.0” (no gateway, and subnetting is
not being used).
• The Default Gateway is stored in non–volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST) command, or after
an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet) command.
Host Name
The Host Name is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated
into an IP address.
• Changing the Host Name will cause an automatic LAN reset.
• The default Host Name for the multimeter is “A–34410A–nnnnn” for the
34410A, and “A–34411A–nnnnn” for the 34411A, where nnnnn is the last
five digits of the instrument’s serial number representation.
• If Dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) is available on your network and
your multimeter uses DHCP, the Host Name is registered with the Dynamic
DNS service at power–on.
• The Host Name is stored in non–volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST) command, or after
an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet) command.
