8-Bit DIP Switch Descriptions
Table B-1 shows the possible configurations of the GPIB-ENET DIP
switches and what each configuration indicates. The entries in bold
italic text represent the default settings.
Switch 8 selects the Extended Factory Test mode and should remain
OFF for normal operating mode. When this switch is ON, the
GPIB-ENET performs extended tests which require special connections
to the GPIB and Ethernet ports. Without these connections, the
GPIB-ENET cannot pass the extended factory tests.
Switch 7 selects the Modify Mode and should remain OFF for normal
operating mode. The firmware controlling the GPIB-ENET is stored in
an electrically erasable memory. When this switch is ON, you can
reprogram the firmware memory from the Ethernet network using the
Firmware Update utility, or you can modify the subnet information
using the Assign Subnet Information utility. To run one of these
utilities, click the button with its name on the Network Settings tab of
the Device Manager. Both of these utilities have built-in,
context-sensitive online help.
