Step 1. Determine IP and Ethernet Addresses
The Internet Protocol (IP) address is the address that TCP/IP-based
networks use to route information to the appropriate network and host.
When you first install a GPIB-ENET in a network, or if the IP address
for the GPIB-ENET changes, you must configure the GPIB-ENET
IP address.
1.
Note the Ethernet address from the identification label on the
bottom panel of the GPIB-ENET.
The Ethernet address is not the same as the IP address. All devices
on an Ethernet network are assigned a physical address, the
Ethernet address, so that they can communicate with each other.
See Figure 2-4 for a picture of the GPIB-ENET identification label.
