SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DNS "<address>"
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DNS? [{CURRent | STATic}]
Assigns static IP addresses of Domain Name System (DNS) servers. A primary and a secondary server address () may
be assigned. If DHCP is available and enabled, DHCP will auto-assign these server addresses. These auto-assigned
server addresses take precedence over the static addresses assigned with this command. Contact your LAN admin-
istrator for details.
If you change this setting, you must execute a SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:UPDate command to activ-
ate the setting.
Parameter Typical return
<address> = Four-byte dot notation ("nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn"), where "nnn" in
each case is a byte value in the range of 0 through 255.
[{CURRent | STATic}] Default = CURRent
"198.105.232.4"
Set a static primary DNS address:
SYST:COMM:LAN:DNS "198.105.232.4"
SYST:COMM:LAN:UPD
– CURRent - Returns address currently being used by the instrument.
– STATic - Returns address from non-volatile memory. This address is used if DHCP is disabled or unavailable.
– SYSTem:SECurity:IMMediate sets this parameter to its default value.
– The assigned DNS address is used for the DNS server if DHCP is disabled. Otherwise, the DNS server address is
auto-assigned by DHCP.
– The setting is non-volatile, and does not change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command)
or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
