Using System Features
Using Input/Output Configuration Keys
• IP Address - Changes the IP (internet protocol) address, domain
name and node (host) name for the instrument. The IP address of
the instrument can be changed by entering a numeric address
composed of numbers and decimal points.
• Host Name - Displays the host name of the instrument. Pressing
the key activates the alpha editor, which enables you to change the
host name. However, this will not change your LAN system
representation of the host name. You must work through your local
system administrator to change the host name. Changing it in the
instrument only changes the displayed information, it will not
enable LAN access with the new name.
• Subnet Mask - Changes the subnet mask of the instrument. The
subnet mask is a 32-bit address mask used in IP networks to
indicate the bits of an IP address that are used for the subnet
address. The default address is 255.255.0.0 for a class B network.
