3 Getting Started50 Series E4360 User’s GuideDNSSelect DNS to configure the Domain Name System (DNS) setup of theinstrument. DNS is an internet service that translates domain names intoIP addresses. It is also needed for the instrument to find and display itshostname assigned by the network.Obtain DNSserver from DHCPSelect this item to obtain the DNS server address from DHCP. Youmust have enabled DHCP in the IP menu.Use the followingDNS serverSelect this item if you are not using DHCP or need to connect to aspecific DNS server.DNS Server This value is the address of the DNS server. It is used if you are notusing DHCP or if you need to connect to a specific DNS server.NOTE For improved performance when connected to an isolated subnet,select Use the following DNS server. However, leave the DNS serveraddress field blank.TCPSelect TCP to configure the TCP keepalive settings of the instrument.Enable TCPKeepaliveCheck the Enable box to enable the TCP keepalive function. Theinstrument uses the TCP keepalive timer to determine if a client isstill reachable. If there has been no activity on the connection afterthe specified time, the instrument will send keepalive probes to theclient to determine if it is still alive. If not, the connection will bemarked as down or "dropped." The instrument will release anyresources that were allocated to that client.TCPkeepalivetimeoutThis is the delay in seconds before TCP keepalive probes will be sentto the client. It is recommended that the largest value be used thatstill meets the application's need for unreachable client detection.Smaller keepalive time-out values will generate more keepaliveprobes (network traffic), using more of the available networkbandwidth. Allowed values: 720 - 99999 seconds.ResetResets the LAN settings to the factory-shipped state. These settings arelisted at the end of chapter 4.LAN CommunicationThe Keysight IO Libraries Suite along with instrument drivers for specificprogramming environments can be used to communicate with your SAS.You can also communicate with your SAS using its built-in Web server,the Telnet utility, or sockets. These latter methods are a convenient wayto communicate with the SAS without using I/O libraries or drivers. In allcases, you must first establish a LAN connection from your computer tothe SAS as previously discussed.
