A custom hostname can be created through the web pages (see section 6.6.2). For
example, the hostname can be changed to Heater_3.
Hostname Conflict: The power supply can detect if its hostname is already used by
another device. This is called a hostname conflict. In this case, the supply will make its
name unique by appending a dash and number to it. For example, it will become
Heater_3-2.
A LAN Reset (see sections 5.3 and 5.4) will not change the hostname, even if it is a custom
name, but it may remove the dash number if a hostname conflict has been removed.
To restore the factory default hostname, open the LAN  Modify web page and enter a
blank for the new hostname (see section 6.6.2) or send the DIAG:COMM:LAN:FAC
command (see section 11.6.6).
The power supply may be set to one of three network modes in the table below:
Hostname
DHCP
Auto-IP
Static IP

4.6. Description and DNS Service Names
On the power supply web page, the Description field is also the DNS-SD service name.
The service name may be used by a network running the DNS-SD protocol (also called the
‘Bonjour’ discovery protocol).
The factory default description is “Genesys DC Power” plus:
< Product > < Voltage or Current rating >
The default description will use the larger number from the voltage or current rating and
then append a V or A. This is similar to the hostname, but without the serial number.
Example: Genesys DC Power GEN1250V
A custom service name can be created through the web pages (see section 6.6.2). For
example, the service name can be changed to AuxMixer.
Service Name Conflict: The power supply can detect if the service name is already used
by another device. This is called a service name conflict. In this case, the supply will make
its name unique by appending parenthesis and number to it. For example, it will become
AuxMixer (2).
To restore the factory default description, open the LAN  Modify web page and enter
a blank for the new description (see section 6.6.2) or send the DIAG:COMM:LAN:FAC
command (see section 11.6.6).
