To enter the IP address of your GPIB-ENET, choose the GPIB bus
associated with your box by selecting the bus using the Bus/Device
menu. An IP Address edit box appears below the Bus Timing
menu. If you do not know the IP address, see your network
administrator. The IP address you used to configure your
GPIB-ENET hardware is the same IP address you should
enter here.
5.
Enter your GPIB-ENET box IP address in the edit box. The address
should be a 32-bit IP address in IP dot notation (a.b.c.d), or valid
domain name syntax. The IP address can also be an alias as defined
in the
Hosts
file in your
System Folder
. Refer to your TCP/IP
software documentation for details on how to properly assign IP
address aliases.
Step 3. Restart Your Computer
The NI-488.2 driver is installed every time you start or restart your
computer. The NI-488.2 software displays the National Instruments
icon momentarily in the lower left corner of the screen to indicate that
the driver is being installed. If the National Instruments icon does not
appear on your screen, repeat the installation procedure before
continuing to the next chapter to verify the installation and troubleshoot
any problems that may occur.
