Chapter 3 Ethernet Configuration

• *Unconfigured* indicates the device is configured to use DHCP,

butDHCPfailedtoattainnetworkparameters.

• *Busy* indicates the device is configured to use DHCP and

currently is attempting to acquire network parameters.

Click Properties... for any of the following reasons:

• You need to configure an unconfigured IP address.

• You need to change the current network parameters.

• You previously used DHCP, but it is no longer available.

• You are using DHCP and need to change the hostname of the

GPIB-ENET/100.

• The IP address/hostname column displays an exclamation

point (!) next to your GPIB-ENET/100, indicating a configuration

problem. Refer to the Verifying the Hostname section for help

resolving this problem.

• You want to add or change a comment to help identify the device.

Click Refresh if you do not see your GPIB-ENET/100 in the list of

Ethernet devices, or to discover a device that you recently added to the

subnet.

Click Exit if you are using DHCP and you do not need to change the

hostname of the GPIB-ENET/100, or if you are finished using the

NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility.
