Missing IP Address for ENET Devices
The ENET device is not powered on and ready to operate, or the IP address is either unspecified or incorrectly specified. Follow these steps to resolve the problem:
- Ensure that the ENET device is powered on. The READY LED should be steady green for GPIB-ENET/1000.
- Remove the ENET device that failed the test from the GPIB Explorer by doing the following:
- Start the GPIB Explorer utility by using the following command:
gpibexplorer
- Select the ENET interface that fails the troubleshooting test.
- Click Delete to remove the ENET interface from the list.
- Add the ENET interface back to the GPIB Explorer:
- Click New.
- Follow the prompt to the ENET interface back to GPIB interface list.
- Verify that the ENET device is correctly configured for your network. The easiest way to do this is to use a network utility called ping. Open a terminal shell and type in the following command:
ping <IPaddress>
Where <IPaddress> is the IP address that is assigned to your ENET device. If your device is assigned a hostname, type in the following command instead:
ping <hostname>
If the ping utility is unable to communicate with the ENET device, verify your IP address/hostname with your network administrator. If the IP address/hostname is valid, contact National Instruments for more help.
