GPIB-ENET/100 for Windows Me/98/95
Installing the GPIB-ENET/100 Hardware
Complete the following steps to install your GPIB-ENET/100.
Step 1. Record the Serial Number, Ethernet Address,
and Default Hostname
When you configure the GPIB-ENET/100 for use on your network,
you will need to differentiate it from other network devices. Every
GPIB-ENET/100 has a unique serial number, Ethernet address, and
default hostname.
1.
Locate the serial number, Ethernet address, and default hostname on
the GPIB-ENET/100 baseplate label, as shown in Figure 2-3.
2.
Write down this information and keep it available so you can refer to
it later as you configure the GPIB-ENET/100.
Note
The Ethernet address is not the IP address. All devices on an Ethernet network
are assigned a unique physical address—the Ethernet address—so they can communicate
with each other.
