The default computer name follows the syntax
<INST>-<Serial Number>
(previous
syntax:
rs<inst><Serial Number>
), where:
●
<INST>
is the short name of your instrument, as stated on the front panel.
●
<Serial Number>
is the individual serial number of the instrument.
You can find the serial number at the rear panel of instrument. It is the third part of
the device ID printed on the barcode sticker .

Assigning the IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol), the address information is assigned automatically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP address
via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. If this attempt does not succeed or if the instrument
is set to use alternate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually.
Since the dynamic TCP/IP configuration assigns the address information automatically,
it is safe to establish a physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument
configuration.
