Configuring the Interface

Hostname This field registers the supplied name with the selected naming service. If the field is left blank, then no name is registered. A Hostname may contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and dashes(-). The maximum length is 15 characters. The factory default 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 home page.

LAN This value sets the LAN keepalive in seconds. The Keepalive instrument uses the TCP keepalive timer to determine if a

Timeout client is still reachable. If after the specified amount of time, there has been no activity on the connection, 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 this parameter is set, it is recommended that the largest value be used that still meets the application's need for unreachable client detection. Smaller LAN Keepalive 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.
