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 consists of 4 decimal numbers separated by periods. Each decimal number ranges from 0 through 255.

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 Gateway 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.

Name

Select Name to configure the hostname of the instrument. If you want to change the hostname, you should do so before you connect the instrument to the network. Otherwise, the original hostname may be cached in the network for up to several hours.

Host name This field registers the supplied name with the selected naming service. If the field is left blank, no name is registered. A hostname may contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and dashes(-). The maximum length is 15 characters. Use the navigation keys to enter an alpha character. Use the up/down navigation or arrow keys to select a letter from the alphabetic choices as you scroll through the selections. Use the number keys to enter a number.

Each power system is shipped with a default hostname with the format: A- modelnumber-serialnumber, where modelnumber is the mainframe’s 6- character model number (e.g. N6700B), and serialnumber is the last five characters of the 10-character mainframe serial number located on the label on the top of the unit (e.g. 45678 if the serial number is MY12345678). A-N6700B-45678 is an example of a hostname.
