GPIB-ENET for MacOS
If you want to connect an Ethernet conversion box to the AUI port,
change the setting of the switch to match that shown in Figure 2-3.

Connect the Hardware
After configuring the switch settings on your GPIB-ENET, complete
the following steps to connect the GPIB-ENET to an Ethernet network.
Step 1. Connect the Cables
1.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the GPIB-ENET and securely fasten
it. Connect the other end to your Ethernet network. Be sure to
follow all IEEE 802.3 cabling restrictions.
2.
Connect the GPIB cable to the GPIB-ENET and tighten the thumb
screws on the connector. Connect the other end to your GPIB
system. Be sure to follow all IEEE 488.1 cabling restrictions, and
use only shielded GPIB cables.
3.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet of the correct voltage.
Step 2. Switch on Your GPIB-ENET
Power on your GPIB-ENET. The POWER LED should come on
immediately. The READY LED should flash while it completes its
power-on self tests. When all the tests complete successfully and the IP
address is assigned, from either nonvolatile memory or the network, the
READY LED remains steady, indicating that the unit is ready to
operate.
If the POWER LED does not come on immediately or the READY LED
continues to flash after the IP address should have been assigned,
recheck all connections and switch settings, and retry the power-on
sequence. If the READY LED still does not become steady after the IP
address should have been assigned, refer to Appendix C, Customer
