Information:
Hostname
Specify the name of the device on the network

Network configuration changes do not require the Power Panel to be rebooted and are applied by the system and processed immediately after saving the settings and exiting the service pages (see "Service page Save & Exit" on page 72).
Hostname
Default setting: EMPTY (no hostname defined)
The Power Panel is identified in the network using its IP address or hostname. If a hostname is entered here, the Power Panel can be identified in the network using this name, which allows it to be accessed (e.g. by Automation Studio).
Important information:
•The hostname must be unique in the network.
•The name can have a maximum length of 64 characters.
DHCP
Default setting: Enabled
When the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled, the network configuration is automatically taken from the DHCP server and assigned to the Power Panel; otherwise, it must be entered manually (e.g. the IP address of the device, the IP address of the gateway, etc.).
For information about manual network configuration: see "Network configuration without DHCP" on page 52
Activate DNS1)
Default setting: Enabled
DNS usage of the device (DNS client) can be enabled or disabled with this option.
If a hostname is entered in VNC or web mode, this option must be enabled so the hostname of the VNC or web server can be deactivated and the associated IP address can be obtained from the DNS server.
1)For DNS functionality to be used, appropriate infrastructure must exist in the network. For more information, please contact your network administrator.
