DNS
Select DNS to configure the Domain Name System (DNS) setup of the
instrument. DNS is an internet service that translates domain names into
IP addresses. It is also needed for the instrument to find and display its
hostname assigned by the network.
Obtain DNS
Select this item to obtain the DNS server address from DHCP. You
must have enabled DHCP in the IP menu.
Use the following
DNS server
Select this item if you are not using DHCP or need to connect to a
specific DNS server.
DNS Server This value is the address of the DNS server. It is used if you are not
using DHCP or if you need to connect to a specific DNS server.
NOTE
For improved performance when connected to an isolated subnet,
select Use the following DNS server. However, leave the DNS server
address field blank.
TCP
Select TCP to configure the TCP keepalive settings of the instrument.
Enable TCP
Keepalive
Check the Enable box to enable the TCP keepalive function. The
instrument uses the TCP keepalive timer to determine if a client is
still reachable. If there has been no activity on the connection after
the specified time, the instrument will send keepalive probes to the
client to determine if it is still alive. If not, the connection will be
marked as down or "dropped." The instrument will release any
resources that were allocated to that client.
TCP
keepalive
timeout
This is the delay in seconds before TCP keepalive probes will be sent
to the client. It is recommended that the largest value be used that
still meets the application's need for unreachable client detection.
Smaller keepalive time-out values will generate more keepalive
probes (network traffic), using more of the available network
bandwidth. Allowed values: 720 - 99999 seconds.
Reset
Resets the LAN settings to the factory-shipped state. These settings are
listed at the end of chapter 4.
LAN Communication
The Keysight IO Libraries Suite along with instrument drivers for specific
programming environments can be used to communicate with your SAS.
You can also communicate with your SAS using its built-in Web server,
the Telnet utility, or sockets. These latter methods are a convenient way
to communicate with the SAS without using I/O libraries or drivers. In all
cases, you must first establish a LAN connection from your computer to
the SAS as previously discussed.
