3. The NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility displays a list of
devices found on your subnet, sorted by model. You can identify
your device by the Ethernet address or the serial number found
on the baseplate label. The listed devices can be in one of four
possible states, as indicated in the
IP address/hostname column:
A hostname indicates DHCP has successfully configured

successfully been configured with a static IP address.
*Unconfigured*
indicates the device is configured to use

*Busy*
indicates the device is configured to use DHCP and
