5.7.4.4 IP Addresses
The simplest and most reliable way to open a network connection is via the Power Supply’s IP
address, which is represented by a group of four numbers separated by periods (i.e.
10.1.15.123).
The Power Supply can receive an IP address in three modes:
IP Mode Select
DHCP is default
after “LAN Reset”
Default after “LAN
Reset” if no
DHCP server is used
Assigned on the LAN Modify” web page (refer to
section 5.7.6.6 or by setting the IP1-
the front panel (refer to section 2.7) or by
communication SYSTem[:COMMunicate]:LAN:IP
<SRD> command (refer to section 5.14.10).
Assignment
Assigned by the
network server
Assigned by the
Power Supply
Assigned on the LAN Modify web page (refer to
section 5.7.6.6) or by setting the IP1-4 address
via the front panel (section 2.7
) or by
communication SYSTem[:COMMunicate]:LAN:IP
<SRD> command (refer to section 5.14.10).
Lifetime

Always fixed for the Power Supply.
Duplicate

If duplication of IP is detected at AC ON (if the
device was in Static IP mode), the IP goes to
0.0.0.0, LAN status LED (Red) turns on and the
5.7.4.5 Hostname
The hostname is an address in the form of name instead of IP address (i.e. G10-40). This address
mode is less common than the IP address because the hostname cannot be viewed from the front
panel, and because a naming service (such as NetBIOS or DNS) must be running in the LAN
computer.
The default hostname has the following format:
< Product Series Name> < Voltage rating > – < Current rating >.
