Agilent Technologies 5742A, 5752A, 5744A, 5743A, 5748A, 5741A, 5746A, 5751A By the subnet mask setting

Operating the Power Supply Remotely 4

Subnet Mask This value is used to enable the instrument to determine if a client IP address is on the same local subnet. When a client IP address is on a different subnet, all packets must be sent to the Default Gateway.

Default This value is the IP Address of the default gateway that allows the instrument Gateway to communicate with systems that are not on the local subnet, as determined

by the subnet mask setting.

DNS DNS is an internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. This parameter indicates whether the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server is obtained automatically or manually. Auto obtains the DNS server address from DHCP. Manual uses the DNS server in the following field.

DNS Server This value is the address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server. If DHCP is disabled, the DNS server parameter is needed for the instrument to be able to find and display its hostname.

Naming This parameter specifies the Naming service, if any, to be used to register the Service instrument. NetBIOS indicates the instrument will be registered using the RFC

NetBIOS naming protocol. Dynamic DNS indicates the instrument will be registered using the Dynamic DNS naming system.

Host Name This field registers the supplied name with the selected naming service. If the field is blank, no name is registered. A hostname may contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and dashes(-). The maximum length is 15 characters.

The format is A-modelnumber-serialnumber. Modelnumber is the instrument’s 6-character model number, and serialnumber is 5th through the 9th character of the 10-character serial number located on the label on the side of the unit.

Domain This field registers the Internet domain for the instrument. The Domain must start with a letter and may contain upper and lower case letters, numbers, dashes(-) and dots(.).

Description This field lets you assign a user-friendly name to the instrument. This name is used as the title of the instrument’s Web home page.

LAN This value sets the LAN keepalive in seconds. The instrument uses the LAN Keepalive keepalive timer to determine if a client is still reachable. If there has been no

Timeout activity on the connection after the specified time, the instrument will send keepalive probes to the client to determine if it is still alive. If not, the connection will be marked as down or "dropped." The instrument will release any resources that were allocated to that client. When setting this parameter, it is recommended that the largest value be used that still meets the application's need for unreachable client detection. Smaller keepalive timeout values will generate more keepalive probes (network traffic), using more of the available network bandwidth. Check the Enable box to enable the LAN Keepalive function. Allowed values: 720-99999 seconds.

GPIB Address This field shows the instrument's GPIB bus address. The GPIB address can be configured using the instrument's front panel.

Change This field lets you change the Web password. Enter the old password to Password confirm access. Enter the new password in the Enter New field and in the

Confirm New field. The password can be up to 12 alpha-numeric characters (letters, numbers, underscore); case insensitive. The first character must be a letter. If the fields are blank, password checking is disabled.
