AD007 User Manua l
A Note on Configuring the Network
To establish communications with the AD007 GPIB-LAN Adapter
over the Ethernet, the network administrator must perform the
following tasks:
H Identify the Ethernet hardware address of the adapter
H Assign an IP addre ss, subnet mask, default router for the adapte r
on the network
H Configure the DHCP or BOOTP server
NOTE. A network techni cian should determine the network subnet
that the AD007 adapter connects to. (This is the connection point for
the RJ-45 cable.) It is not unusual for several drops at a particular
location to be on different network subnets, so it is important to have
the one that is designated for the adapter.
At power on, the AD007 adapter performs a self test and initiates
DHCP/BOOTP. The DHCP/BOOTP server then communicates with
the AD007 a dapter to give it the proper network settings. For more
information about setting up a DHCP/BOOTP server, see page 8.
If there is no DHCP/BOOTP server, you can use the reset button to
bypass the DHCP/BOOTP request and manually set the network
parameters.
For more detailed information about the applicable network
protocols, see Appendix C: Network Protocols on page 61.
