Static IP Parameters
To set a static IP address, you must provide the GPIB-ENET/100 with several important network parameters. These parameters are listed below.
- IP addressThe unique, computer-readable address of a device on your network. An IP address typically is represented as four decimal numbers separated by periods (for example, 130.164.54.215).
- Subnet maskA code that helps the network device determine whether another device is on the same network or a different network.
- Gateway IPThe IP address of a device that acts as a gateway, which is a connection between two networks. If your network does not have a gateway, set this parameter to 0.0.0.0.
- DNS serverThe IP address of a network device that stores hostnames and translates them into IP addresses. If your network does not have a DNS server, set this parameter to 0.0.0.0.
The Add GPIB-ENET/100 Wizard can suggest values for these network parameters based on your computer configuration.
