DNS Hostname
A hostname is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into an IP address.
Each power supply is shipped with a default hostname with the format: Keysight-modelnumber-serialnumber,
where modelnumber is the power supply’s 6-character model number (e.g. E36312A), and serialnumber is the last
five characters of the 10-character power supply serial number located on the label on the top of the unit (e.g.
45678 if the serial number is MY12345678).
– The instrument receives a unique hostname at the factory, but you may change it. The hostname must be unique
on the LAN.
– The name must start with letter; other characters can be an upper or lower case letters, numeric digits, or dashes
("-").
– This setting is non-volatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST or SYSTem:PRESet.
