Hostname
The Computer Name, or Hostname, is preconfigured from the factory. It must be a
unique name such that it does not conflict with other equipment on your LAN. The
preconfigured Computer Name is A-N9041B-xxxxx, where xxxxx is the last 5 digits of
the instrument’s serial number.
To change the Computer Name consult the Windows Help and Support Center.
IP Address & Gateway
The instrument is preconfigured to obtain an IP Address via DHCP. You can change
the IP Address and Gateway as you desire. The Windows Help and Support Center
describes how to configure the LAN.

The instrument contains standard Windows networking. The time required to
authenticate is dependent on your LAN infrastructure. You may have improved
performance by mapping a network drive to the shared folder that you need to
access.
To map a network drive, click the icon . and right-click Computer.
