If DHCP is used, the device will automatically obtain a subnet mask from
the DHCP server.
Default Gateway
A gateway is a network device that provides connectivity between two
networks. The default gateway setting is the IP address of the gateway
that the waveform generator is connected to. The value is stored in
non-volatile memory, so it is not affected by power cycle or the remoter
interface reset command.
If DHCP is used, the device 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 (see below), the host name can uniquely represent the
device in the networks just like its host IP address. Each character in the
name can be a number, letter, dash (“−“) or underscore (“_”).
Domain Name
A domain is an administration unit for managing hosts in the networks.
The name of a domain, just like host name, is in human-readable format.
Each character in the name can be a number, letter, dash (“−”) or
underscore (“_”).
Domains are hierarchically structured. There are top domains such as
edu, com, org etc. And a sub-domain under a top domain usually
represents an organization such as a company, a school, a government
office etc. The smallest domain is a host itself. For example, domain
“www.Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation.com.tw” consists of a host name
“www” and three domains “Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation”, “com” and
the country domain “tw”. The host name and names of its domains are
concatenated with the period “.” in the full domain name of the host.
DNS Server
DNS (Domain Name Service) is an internet service that translates a domain
