Each power sensor is delivered with a default hostname assigned. You can change the

default hostname.

Default hostname

The default hostname follows the syntax:

<device name>-<serial number>, where:

●

<device name> is the short name of your sensor.

For example, the <device name> of R&S NRP18SN is nrp18sn.

●

<serial number> is the individual serial number of the power sensor. The serial

number is printed on the name plate at the rear side of the sensor. It is part of the

device ID printed above the barcode:

ID: 1419.0035K02 - 101441 - Zd

Serial Number

Figure 3-6: Serial number on the name plate

Example:

Serial number of the power sensor: 101441

Default hostname: nrp18sn-101441

Hostname in zero configuration networks, including peer-to-peer networks

The power sensor supports zero configuration networking, used in networks without

DHCP server, such as peer-to-peer networks. Thus, you can connect the power sensor

to a network without setting up services such as dynamic host configuration protocol

(DHCP) and domain name system (DNS), or configuring the network settings man-

ually.

For establishing a connection to the power sensor, try the default hostname and the

hostname extended with .local as shown in the example below. All communication

for resolving names in the top-level-domain (TLD) .local are defined to be executed

using dedicated local services and ports if no other DNS (domain name server) is

available.

Example:

Default hostname: nrp18sn-101441

Extended hostname: nrp18sn-101441.local
