How do I communicate with serial ENET interfaces located on other subnets?

  • Verify that the device is present on the network by pinging the IP address of your device. Find the directory where ping is installed and type in the following command:

    ping IPaddress

    where IPaddress is the IP address assigned to your serial device server.
  • Confirm that the gateway settings of the device are set properly. To do this, run the NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility on a computer on the same subnet as the device.
  • Confirm that the gateway settings of the host machine are set properly.

    To view your network settings, find the directory where ipconfig is installed and run it.

    If you need more information, you can run ipconfig with the /all option by typing ipconfig /all. This shows all settings for your machine. Be sure to use the settings for the Ethernet adapter you are using to communicate with the serial device server.
