IP Address This value is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the instrument. An
IP address is required for all IP and TCP/IP communications with the
instrument. An IP Address consists of 4 decimal numbers separated
by periods. Each decimal number ranges from 0 through 255.
Subnet Mask This value is used to enable the instrument to determine if a client
IP address is on the same local subnet. When a client IP address is
on a different subnet, all packets must be sent to the Default
Gateway.
Default
Gateway
This value is the IP Address of the default gateway that allows the
instrument to communicate with systems that are not on the local
subnet, as determined by the subnet mask setting. A value of
0.0.0.0 indicates that no default gateway is defined.
Name
Select Name to configure the hostname of the instrument. If you want to
change the hostname, you should do so before you connect the
instrument to the network. Otherwise, the original hostname may be
cached in the network for up to several hours.
Host name This field registers the supplied name with the selected naming
service. If the field is left blank, no name is registered. A hostname
may contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and dashes(-).
The maximum length is 15 characters. Use the navigation keys to
enter an alpha character. Use the up/down navigation or arrow keys
to select a letter from the alphabetic choices as you scroll through
the selections. Use the number keys to enter a number.
Each SAS is shipped with a default hostname with the format: A-
modelnumber-serialnumber, where modelnumber is the
mainframe’s 6-character model number (e.g. E4360A), and
serialnumber is the last five characters of the 10-character
mainframe serial number located on the label on the top of the unit
(e.g. 45678 if the serial number is MY12345678).
A-E4360A-45678 is an example of a hostname.
Use Dynamic DNS
Registers the hostname using the Dynamic DNS naming system.
Use NetBIOS
naming service
Registers the hostname using the RFC NetBIOS naming protocol.
Domain
Select Domain if your DNS server requires an instrument to register not
only the hostname, but also the domain name.
Domain name Registers the Internet domain for the instrument. The Domain must
start with a letter and may contain upper and lower case letters,
numbers, dashes(-) and dots(.). Use the navigation keys to enter an
alpha character. Use the up/down navigation or arrow keys to select
a letter from the alphabetic choices as you scroll through the
selections. Use the number keys to enter a number.
