Connect the GPIB cable to the GPIB-ENET/100. Connect the other
end to your GPIB instrument.
Baseplate Identification Label
When you configure the GPIB-ENET/100 for use on your network,
you will need to differentiate it from other network devices. Every
GPIB-ENET/100 has a unique serial number, Ethernet address, and
default hostname. You can find this information on the baseplate
identification label on the GPIB-ENET/100.
Note
The Ethernet address is not the IP address. All devices on an Ethernet network
are assigned a unique physical address—the Ethernet address—so they can communicate
with each other.
