In a LAN that uses a DNS server (Domain Name System server), each PC or instrument connected in the LAN can be accessed via an unambiguous computer name instead of the IP address. The DNS server translates the host name to the IP address. This is especially useful when a DHCP server is used, as a new IP address may be assigned each time the instrument is restarted.
Each instrument is delivered with an assigned computer name, but this name can be changed.
The default instrument name is a non-case-sensitive string that follows the syntax rs<instrument><serial number>.
The serial number can be found on the rear panel of the instrument. It is the third part of the device ID printed on the bar code sticker:

Press the "Setup" key and select "Network Settings".
The computer name is displayed under "Hostname".
Press the "Setup" key, select "Protection" and enable the "Protection Level 1".
The default password is 123456.
The parameter "Hostname" in the "Network Settings" dialog is now enabled for configuration.
Change the "Hostname".
