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.
•
*Unconfigured*
indicates the device is configured to use
DHCP, but DHCP failed to attain network parameters.
•
*Busy*
indicates the device is configured to use DHCP and
currently is attempting to acquire network parameters.
When you find your device, select it by entering the number to the left
of the
IP Address/Hostname
column to view the properties of the
device. You should view the device properties for any of the following
reasons:
•
You need to configure an unconfigured IP address.
•
You need to change the current network parameters.
•
You previously used DHCP, but it is no longer available.
•
You are using DHCP and need to change the hostname of the
GPIB-ENET/100.
•
The
IP Address/Hostname
column displays an exclamation
point (
!
) next to your GPIB-ENET/100, indicating a configuration
problem. Refer to the
section for help
resolving this problem.
•
You want to add or change a comment to help identify the device.
Choose
<R>efresh List of Devices
if you do not see your
GPIB-ENET/100 in the list of Ethernet devices, or to discover a device
that you recently added to the subnet.
Choose
<E>xit Program
if you are using DHCP and you do not
need to change the hostname of the GPIB-ENET/100, or if you are
finished using the NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility.
