exchange data in a local area network (LAN), it must be possible to address each
connected computer or instrument via a unique IP address or a hostname.
By default, every R&S ZN-Z86/ZN-Z86X is assigned a hostname
ZN-Z86/ZN-Z86X-<serial number> For example, ZN-Z86-100001 or ZN-
Z86X-100001.
3.7.2.1 Networks with DHCP
The R&S ZN-Z86/ZN-Z86X is preconfigured to use the dynamic host configura-
tion protocol (DHCP). In such networks, the instrument is automatically assigned
a free IP address.
3.7.2.2 Static IP configuration
With static IP configuration, the static IP configuration data are usually provided
