folder in the
NI-488.2
folder.
2.
Double-click the
EthernetConfig
icon.

The
NI Ethernet Device Configuration
utility displays a list of
National Instruments Ethernet devices found on your subnet, sorted by
model. You can identify your device by the Ethernet address or the
serial number found on the GPIB-ENET/100 baseplate label.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of this display.

The listed devices can be in one of four possible states, as indicated in
the
IP address/hostname
column:
•
A hostname indicates the device has successfully been configured
by DHCP.
•
A numerical IP address indicates the device has successfully been
configured with a static IP address.
