Receiver Status - Identity
|
|
The Identity page shows basic information about the particular NetRS
receiver you have contacted.
-
System Name
The system name is a user setable name of up to twelve characters.
The default setting will be the characters RS followed by the
system's serial number as, for example, RS1234567890. Use
Set System Name to change the name.
The System Name is used in several ways by the NetRS. In particular,
the internally logged data files will include the system name as part of
their file names. The System name is also used internally as the
network hostname. Assignment of System Names should be planned
carefully, especially in large networks of NetRS receivers.
-
Serial Number
This is a factory assigned identification string. The serial
number is unique across all Trimble receivers, and is the most reliable
way of identifying a specific receiver. The values are typically 10
numeric digits, but the value is best treated as a string of ten
characters. The serial number cannot be changed.
-
Ethernet IP
This is the IP address currently assigned to the receiver. This
address is used to connect to the receiver using the ethernet port.
This address may be static, or it may change over time, depending on how
the receiver Internet options
are configured.
-
DNS Resolved Name
The DNS name is the result of looking up the Ethernet IP address
on an externally defined Domain Name Server. If such a server is
defined under Internet options.
and this NetRS's IP address has been assigned a name on that server,
then the Fully Qualitified Domain Name will appear here. This value
can usualy be used in place of the IP address when contacting the
NetRS through a browser, etc.
Note that the DNS Resolved Name may not be available for one of
several reasons. For example a name server might not be
defined in the NetRS, or the name server might be unreachable, or the
IP address of the NetRS might not be known to the server.
-
Firmware Version
The Firmware Version identifies the software that is currently
running on this NetRS receiver. The value consists of three digits,
for example 1.0-4 and the date that the firmware was released.
This information can be used to determine if more recent firmware is
available from Trimble. The version might also be needed if it is
necessary to contact Trimble support. For further information about
firmware versions, files, and warranties, see
Firmware Status.
