Using the NI Ethernet Device Configuration Utility
If your network administrator tells you to assign the IP address manually,
run the NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility. This text-based utility can
be run from any terminal, but it is designed to look best on an 80-column
by 24-row display.
To run the utility, complete the following steps:
1.
Enter the full path to the NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility,
which is installed in the GPIB-ENET/100 utilities directory. The
default path is as follows:
<
Install Directory
>/GPIBENET100/EthernetConfig
2.
The NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility lists National
Instruments Ethernet devices found on your subnet, sorted by model.
The utility can display a maximum of 10 devices per screen. If the
screen indicates the utility found more than 10 devices on your subnet,
choose
Display <M>ore Devices
until you find your device.
Identify your device by the Ethernet address or the serial number found
on the GPIB-ENET/100 baseplate label.
