The following advanced parameters are available:
●
"mDNS and DNS-SD": The additional protocols "multicast DNS" and "DNS service
discovery" are used for device communication in zero configuration networks,
working without DNS and DHCP.
●
"ICMP Ping": Must be enabled to use the ping utility.
If you disable this setting, the instrument does not answer ping requests. The set-
ting does not affect the LXI ping client. You can ping other hosts from the instru-
ment, even if the setting is disabled.
●
"VXI-11 Discovery": Must be enabled to detect the instrument in the LAN.
If you disable this setting, the instrument cannot be detected by the VXI-11 discov-
ery protocol mechanism. The setting does not affect other detection mechanisms.
Setting up a VXI-11 connection via the IP address or the host name is independent
of this setting.

Note:
We recommend that you change the default password before connecting the
instrument to a network.

Chapter 10.4.4, "Password Management"
Ping Client
The "Ping Client" page provides the ping utility to verify the connection between the
LXI-compliant instrument and another device.
The ping is initiated from the instrument. Using the
ICMP
echo request and echo reply
packets, this function checks whether the communication with a device via LAN is
working. Ping is useful for the diagnosis of IP network or router failures.
