Hostname
The hostname is an address in the form of name instead of IP address (i.e. G10-170). 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 on the network or the host PC.
The default hostname has the following format:
< Product Series Name> < Voltage rating > – < Current rating >.
If default power supply rating has decimal point, it is represented as “P”.
For example:
Model Default Hostname
G10-500 G10-500
G600-2.8 G600-2P8
A custom host name can be created through the web pages (refer to Section 6.6).
For example, host name can be set to TDK. In this case, the control program can send commands to TDK.
MODBUS TCP (OPT) Reset changes the host name to default.
The power supply may be set to one of the two network modes, each with a different way to use the host
name. This is shown in the table:
DHCP Static IP
Default Hostname xxxxvvvv-aaaa (Refer to
hostname example above
None, hostname cannot be
used
Hostname Protocol Hostname by DNS None, hostname cannot be
used
Hostname on Web Page Shows hostname in the
Network Configuration page
None, hostname cannot be
used
NOTE
There is no mechanism to detect duplicate hostname. Avoid setting of hostname which is already available in
the network.
