If DHCP is used, the instrument will automatically obtain the IP address of the default gateway
from the DHCP server.
Host name
Host name is the human-readable identifier for the device. Together with the domain name, the
host name represents the device in the networks. Each character in the name can be a number,
letter, dash (?), or underscore (_).
Domain name
A domain is an administrator for managing hosts in the networks. The name of a domain is in
human-readable format. Each character in the name can be a number, letter, dash (-), or
underscore (_).
Domains are structured in a hierarchy. Top domains are typically .edu, .com, and .org. A
subdomain under a top domain generally represents an organization. The smallest domain is a
host itself. For example, the domain "www.keithley.com" consists of a host name, "www," and two
domains "keithley" and "com". The host name and names of its domains are linked with the period
(.) in the full domain name of the host.
DNS server
Domain name service (DNS) translates a domain name or a host name into an IP address. The
DNS server address is the IP address of the server that provides this service. The setting is stored
in nonvolatile memory, so it is not affected by turning the instrument power off, or by receiving a
remote interface reset command.
