The following advanced parameters are available:
●
"mDNS and DNS-SD": The additional protocols "multicast DNS" and "DNS service
discovery" are used for device communication in zero configuration networks,
working without DNS and DHCP.
●
"ICMP Ping": Must be enabled to use the ping utility.
If you disable this setting, the instrument does not answer ping requests. The set-
ting does not affect the LXI ping client. You can ping other hosts from the instru-
ment, even if the setting is disabled.
●
"VXI-11 Discovery": Must be enabled to detect the instrument in the LAN.
If you disable this setting, the instrument cannot be detected by the VXI-11 discov-
ery protocol mechanism. The setting does not affect other detection mechanisms.
Setting up a VXI-11 connection via the IP address or the host name is independent
of this setting.
Changing the LAN configuration
This function is password-protected. Unlock the protection level 1 to access it.
Note: We recommend that you change the default password before connecting the
instrument to a network.
How to:
●
"Changing the default user password of the instrument" on page 261.
●
"Changing the default security password" on page 261.
See Chapter 10.4.4, "Password management", on page 258.
Ping client
The "Ping Client" page provides the ping utility to verify the connection between the
LXI-compliant instrument and another device.
The ping is initiated from the instrument. Using the ICMP echo request and echo reply
packets, this function checks whether the communication with a device via LAN is
working. Ping is useful for the diagnosis of IP network or router failures.
