Host Name
The Host Name is the host portion of the domain name, which is
translated into an IP address.
If you change the Host Name, you must cycle power on the 34980A to
activate the new setting.

• The default Host Name for the 34980A is “A- 34980A- nnnnn”, where
nnnnn represents the last five digits of the instrument’s serial number.
• If Dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) is available on your network
and your instrument uses DHCP, the Host Name is registered with the
Dynamic DNS service at power- on.
• If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP server can change the specified
Host Name.
• The Host Name is stored in non- volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (
*RST command), or
after an Instrument Preset (
SYSTem:PRESet command).
