4. To enter the IP address of your GPIB-ENET, choose the GPIB bus associated with
your box by selecting the bus using the Bus/Device menu. An IP Address edit box
appears below the Bus Timing menu. If you do not know the IP address, see your
network administrator. The IP address you used to configure your GPIB-ENET
hardware is the same IP address you should enter here.
5. Enter your GPIB-ENET box IP address in the edit box. The address should be a
32-bit IP address in IP dot notation (a.b.c.d), or valid domain name syntax. The
IP address can also be an alias as defined in the Hosts file in your System
Folder. Refer to your MacTCP documentation for details on how to properly
assign IP address aliases.
