GPIB Hardware Guide
On Windows, use the GPIB Ethernet Wizard to add the GPIB-ENET/100
to your system. Launch the GPIB Ethernet Wizard from Start»
Programs»National Instruments»NI-488.2. (Windows 8) Click
NI Launcher and select GPIB Ethernet Wizard. Accept the
GPIB-ENET/100 default configuration settings or change them while
running the wizard.
On Mac and Linux, use the Add GPIB Hardware Wizard to add the
GPIB-ENET/100 to your system. Launch the Add GPIB Hardware Wizard
from the GPIB Explorer utility in the installed
directory. Once the GPIB-ENET/100 is recognized, you can change the
configuration settings with the NI Ethernet Device Configuration Utility,
described in the Ethernet Configuration section.
Refer to the installation guide on your CD for more details about the GPIB
Ethernet Wizard, Add GPIB Hardware Wizard, and GPIB Explorer utility.
Use the NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility if you need to manually
configure the network parameters of the GPIB-ENET/100. If your network
uses DHCP, the network configuration is performed automatically at
startup, and you do not need to run this utility unless you want to change
the hostname. Consult your network administrator if you do not know
whether your network uses DHCP.
In addition to manually configuring the network parameters, you can use
the NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility for any of the following
purposes:
• Enable DHCP
• Verify or change the hostname
• Add or change a comment to help identify the device
On Windows, once the GPIB-ENET/100 is recognized in Measurement &
Automation Explorer, you may need to remove it and add it again after
using the NI Ethernet Device Configuration Utility to change the
configuration settings.
