About

This

Manual

This manual contains instructions to help you install and configure the 
National Instruments GPIB-ENET hardware and the GPIB software.

This manual assumes that you are already familiar with Windows 95 or 
Windows 98 and TCP/IP networks and that your computer is connected 
to an Ethernet network. Before you can use the driver software for the 
GPIB-ENET, you must already have a Windows Sockets (WinSock) 
Interface, version 1.1 or later, installed. Microsoft provides a WinSock 
Interface with Windows. Additionally, you can use a WinSock Interface 
purchased from another network vendor.
