Using the hostname is useful in networks with dynamic TCP/IP and DHCP protocol
services, that assign the address information automatically. Thus, it can be that the
services assign a new IP address each time the instruments restarts, but they do not
change the hostname.
Each instrument is delivered with an assigned hostname, that remains constant as
long as it is not explicitly changed.
This function is password-protected. Unlock the protection level 1 to access it.
The default hostname name follows the syntax <INST>-<Serial Number>, where:
●
<INST> is the short name of your instrument, as stated on the front panel.
●
<Serial Number> is the individual serial number of the instrument.
You can find the serial number at the rear panel of instrument. It is the third part of
the device ID printed on the barcode sticker.
Example:
The default hostname of an R&S SMB100B with a serial number 102030 is
SMB100B-102030.
To query and change the hostname
1. Select "System Config > Remote Access > Network".
Section "Instrument Name" displays the assigned "Hostname".
Note: This function is password-protected. Unlock the protection level 1 to access
it.
2. Select "System Config > Setup > Security > Protection".
3. Enable the "Protection Level 1".
The default protection level 1 password is 123456.
The parameter "Hostname" in the "Network" tab is now enabled for configuration.
4. Change the "Hostname".
11.7.2.3 How to configure LAN interface access and services
By default, the LAN interface and the supported LAN interface services are enabled.
For security reasons, for example to protect the instrument against unauthorized
access, you can block either the LAN services individually, or the access over LAN in
general.
