3.
At three seconds, the
PWR/RDY
LED becomes steady red. This
indicates the network configuration will be set to the factory default
settings.
4.
When you release the
CFG RESET
switch, the box continues to boot
as normal, and the
PWR/RDY
LED indicates the boot process as
described in Table 1-1,
GPIB-ENET/100 LED Descriptions
.
Enter Network Configuration Mode during Normal
Operation
While the GPIB-ENET/100 is operational, as indicated by a steady yellow
PWR/RDY
LED, you can use the
CFG RESET
switch to place the box
into network configuration mode. You then can use the NI Ethernet Device
Configuration utility.
Because you cannot change the network parameters unless you deliberately
place the GPIB-ENET/100 into network configuration mode, the
parameters are protected while in normal operation. Hosts cannot connect
to the GPIB-ENET/100 while it is in network configuration mode.
Note
Pressing the
CFG RESET
switch has no effect if hosts are currently connected.
Close all connections, then press and hold the
CFG RESET
switch for
three seconds. If you release the switch prior to three seconds, the
GPIB-ENET/100 continues to operate normally.
The
PWR/RDY
LED goes through the following changes during these
three seconds.
1.
The LED begins slowly alternating between red and yellow.
2.
The alternating pattern increases in tempo.
3.
At three seconds, the
PWR/RDY
LED becomes steady red. This
indicates the GPIB-ENET/100 is ready to enter network configuration
mode.
4.
Now release the
CFG RESET
switch. The
PWR/RDY
LED
alternates rapidly between red and yellow to indicate the
GPIB-ENET/100 is now in network configuration mode.
This mode remains in effect until you switch off the GPIB-ENET/100 or
you use the NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility to change its network
characteristics. The GPIB-ENET/100 automatically reboots when you exit
the utility.
