IP Address
Displays the IP address of the instrument in the network.
By default, the R&S SMBV100B is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration
and to obtain the whole address information automatically.
If the network does not support DHCP or the attempt does not succeed, the instrument
tries to obtain the IP address via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. IP addresses assigned via
Zeroconf start with the number blocks 169.254.*.*.
Note: An IP address that is assigned via the Zeroconf protocol although the network
requires an IP address assigned via the DHCP server can cause network connection
failures.
See Chapter 14.5, "Resolving Network Connection Failures", on page 950.
To assign the IP address manually, select Address Mode > "Static".

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork:IPADdress on page 899
Subnet Mask
Displays the bit group of the subnet in the host identifier.
To assign the subnet mask manually, select Address Mode > "Static".
Remote command: 
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:IPADdress]:SUBNet:MASK on page 901
Default Gateway
Displays the gateway address.
This address identifies the router on the same network as the instrument that is used to
forward traffic to destinations beyond the local network.
To assign the gateway address manually, select Address Mode > "Static".
Remote command: 
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:IPADdress]:GATeway on page 901
DNS Suffix
Displays the primary DNS (Domain Name System) suffix, that means the DNS name
without the hostname part.
The DNS system uses the suffix for registration and name resolution for unique identifi-
cation of the instrument in the entire network.
To assign the DNS suffix manually, select Address Mode > "Static".
Remote command: 
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:COMMon]:DOMain on page 900
DNS Server
Determines the preferred server for name resolution. The DNS server contains the
underlying numerical values that are required for name resolution of the hostname as
part of the IP address.
To select the DNS server manually, select Address Mode > "Static".
Remote command: 
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:IPADdress]:DNS on page 901
