Alternately, use a standard Ethernet patch cable
to connect the 9006 to the same hub or switch
that the PC running the Con
fi guration Utility is
connected to as shown in Figure 4-7. Temporarily
disconnect the local network connection to avoid
network con

its IP address is in the 192.168.1.xxx range so
it can communicate with the board’s default IP
address. To check, right-click on My Network

Local Area Connection and click Properties.

scans for all VXI-11 Services connected to the
local LAN or to your PC. (The 9006 is an RPC
server which provide a VXI-11 Service) The
results are displayed in the Results box.

pulldown arrow in the Found Servers box to view
the Found Server addresses. The board’s
default address is 192.168.1.254. Highlight the
board’s IP address and click the Create Link key.
If the server is not found, you can enter the default
IP address (192.168.1.254) in the Found Servers
