How Do I Set Up the Ethernet Configuration for a GPIB ENET/100 Device?

Hardware: Instrument Connectivity Other>>Ethernet>>GPIB-ENET/100

Problem:
I have a GPIB ENET/100 device and am trying to set up the ethernet configuration. What do I need to do?

Solution:
Ethernet Configuration:

By default, the GPIB ENET/100 attempts its network configuration through DHCP. A steady yellow PWR/RDY LED indicates that the device has passed its self-tests, has acquired an IP address, and is ready to operate. Other light states are discussed in the Getting Started Guide, linked below.

If you do not have DHCP or wish to set a static IP address, follow these instructions:
  1. In MAX, right-click on the appropriate GPIB ENET/100 item and select Device Configuration.
  2. In the NI Ethernet Device Configuration Window, click on the device that you want to modify.
  3. Select Properties to change the network settings of this device.

Note: If your device is not listed in the NI Ethernet Device Configuration or if you cannot change the properties, you need to delete the GPIB ENET/100 device and recreate it in MAX by right-clicking on Devices and Interfaces and choosing "Create New".
