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.
The Ethernet address is not the IP address. All devices on an Ethernet network
Note
are assigned a unique physical address—the Ethernet address, also known as the
MAC address—so they can communicate with each other.

Startup
Turn on the front-panel power switch. The POWER LED lights steady green. The READY
LED blinks green rapidly while the GPIB-ENET/1000 completes its boot process and attempts
to acquire its network parameters.
By default, the GPIB-ENET/1000 attempts its network configuration automatically through
DHCP. If there is no DHCP response, the GPIB-ENET/1000 reverts to Auto IP addressing and
assigns itself an IP address in the range of
information. The time required for assigning the IP address depends on your network and the
configuration of your GPIB-ENET/1000. Allow up to 30 seconds and observe the state of the
READY LED to determine the outcome of the boot process. One of the following should occur:
•
A steady green READY LED indicates the GPIB-ENET/1000 finished the boot process
and acquired its IP address. The unit is now ready to operate. When using DHCP, the
GPIB-ENET/1000 typically is ready to operate about 15 seconds after you power it on.
•
If the READY LED blinks a slow red pattern, the GPIB-ENET/1000 boot process failed.

READY LED Signaling
Instruments Technical Support.
•
A steady red READY LED indicates that the GPIB-ENET/1000 has corrupt firmware and
has entered Safe Mode. The only operation allowed in Safe Mode is to update the firmware.
