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.
Baseplate Identification Label
When you configure the GPIB-ENET/1000 for use on your network,
you will need to differentiate it from other network devices. Every
GPIB-ENET/1000 has a unique serial number, Ethernet address, and
default hostname. You can find this information on the baseplate
identification label on the GPIB-ENET/1000.
Note The Ethernet address is not the IP address. All devices on an Ethernet network
are assigned a unique physical address—the Ethernet address, also known as the MAC
address—so they can communicate with each other.
