Request IP address:
There are two ways to select the IP mode (dynamic or static) and request (dynamic)
or query (static) the IP address.
Front Panel:
As described in section 4.2, the user can set the PMDPro for static or dynamic IP
addressing and query the IP address from the front panel SETUP menu. Press the
SETUP button on the front panel. GET DYNAMIC IP sets the PMDPro for dynamic
IP addressing and requests a dynamic IP address from the server. GET STATIC IP
sets the PMDPro for static IP addressing and requests the static IP address stored in
memory.
LabView Program:
The GP_SET_ETHERNET program can also be used to obtain the dynamic IP
address or the full set of static IP network settings.
3.
Set IP address (static mode only):
The LabVIEW program
(GP_SET_ETHERNET.vi or GP_SET_ETHERNET.exe)
must be used to set up the static Ethernet configuration. Static IP setup cannot be
done from the front panel.
