Viewing and Modifying the E5810B Configuration
Hostname None The hostname configures the Internet domain name for the
E5810B. Hostnames are useful when IP addresses are being
assigned by a DHCP server, since the hostname will not change
when the DHCP server or the device IP address changes.
If a hostname is entered, the E5810B will try to register this name
when it boots up. The E5810B can only register the hostname if
the network has a dynamic DNS. If the network does not have
dynamic DNS, this value is not used. Because you can always use
the IP address or the name (possibly supplied by another name
server), the hostname is not a required configuration value.
You may enter up to 35 characters for the hostname. The
hostname must start with a letter, and it consists of upper and
lower case letters, digits, and dashes. There is no default
hostname. If a hostname is displayed on the Welcome page, it is a
valid hostname as one was found on the network through
the DNS.
Description Factory-set The default description consists of E5810B followed by the
Ethernet (MAC) address. The Ethernet (MAC) address is printed
on a label at the bottom panel of the E5810B.
A typical description is Keysight E5810B
00-30-D3-05-00-23, where 00-30-D3-05-00-23 is
the Ethernet (MAC) address. The description is the UPnP Friendly
Name of the E5810B that will automatically be displayed on
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled LAN hosts.
When the E5810B is connected to the LAN, it broadcasts its
presence to the network if UPnP is enabled. UPnP clients will see
the E5810B in My Network Places, listed by this description. A
Friendly Name can be up to 39 characters, including spaces.
