4.
Refer to the
Baseplate Identification Label
on the base of the GPIB-ENET/1000 and make
a note of the serial number, MAC address (Ethernet address), and default hostname. You
will need this information when you run some of the utilities.
5.
Contact your network administrator to determine whether your network supports DHCP or
if you need to manually perform the Ethernet configuration to set up the network
parameters. If your network uses DHCP, the network configuration is performed
automatically at startup. If your network does not use DHCP, Auto IP (link-local)
addressing is used to acquire an initial IP address. A steady green
READY
LED indicates
the GPIB-ENET/1000 finished its boot process and acquired its IP address. The unit is now
ready to operate. You may need to run software configuration and verification utilities at
this time.
6.
Connect the GPIB cable to the GPIB-ENET/1000. Connect the other end to your GPIB
instrument.
