Configuring the Interface

AutoIP This parameter allows automatic IP addressing to be enabled or disabled. AutoIP automatically assigns addresses on networks that do not have a DHCP server. If AutoIP is enabled (On), an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway will automatically be assigned

to the instrument. If AutoIP is disabled (Off), the instrument will use the manual IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway specified in the following fields during power-on.

IP Address This value is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the instrument. An IP address is required for all IP and TCP/IP communications with the instrument. An IP Address is 4 decimal numbers separated by periods. Each decimal number ranges from 0 through 255. If the IP Address is changed, the instrument must be rebooted for this change to be effective.

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. If the Subnet Mask is changed, the instrument must be rebooted for this change to be effective.

Default This value is the IP Address of the default gateway that Gateway allows the instrument to communicate with systems that

are not on the local subnet, as determined by the subnet mask setting. A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default gateway is defined. If the Default Gateway is changed, the instrument must be rebooted for this change to be effective.

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. If the parameter is set to Auto, the DNS server address is obtained from DHCP. If the parameter is set to Manual, the DNS server in the following field is used.

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 service used to register the 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.
