LAN speeds
Another characteristic of the LAN is speed. The 2601B-PULSE negotiates with the host computer and
other LXI-compliant devices on the LAN to transmit data at the highest speed possible. LAN speeds
must be configured to match the speed of the other instruments on the network.
To set the LAN speed:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key and select LAN > CONFIG > SPEED.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the previous menu.
5. Select APPLY_SETTINGS > YES, and then press the ENTER key.
Configuring the domain name system (DNS)
The domain name system (DNS) lets you type a domain name in the address bar to connect to the
instrument. If you use DNS, you can use a name instead of an IP address.
Example:
Model2601B-PULSE.XYZcompany.com
Contact your corporate information technology (IT) department for information about DNS. If a DNS
server is not part of the LAN infrastructure, do not use this setting.
To enable or disable DNS host name verification:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > CONFIG > DNS > VERIFY.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select either ENABLE or DISABLE. When enabled, the
instrument performs a DNS lookup to verify the DNS host name matches the value specified in
the lan.config.dns.hostname (on page 11-113) attribute.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key twice to return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
To enable or disable DNS registration:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key and select LAN > CONFIG > DNS > DYNAMIC.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select either ENABLE or DISABLE. DNS registration works with
the DHCP to register the host name specified in the lan.config.dns.hostname attribute with
the DNS server.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key twice to return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
5. Select APPLY_SETTINGS > YES, and then press the ENTER key.
