Getting Started Quick Setup If the following conditions apply, you can go directly to the appropriate setup procedure to install the adapter: 1. You have followed the instructions in the Read This First guide and communicated the Ethernet hardware address of your adapter to your network administrator. 2. Your network administrator has returned the card to you with an IP address.
Getting Started Setting up a DHCP/BOOTP Server The purpose of a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or BOOTP (Boot Protocol) server is to issue IP addresses to devices or clients on the network that request them. Once the IP addresses are properly assigned, the network servers can then allow other communications to take place. A DHCP or BOOTP server can also provide all the other network parameters to the AD007 adapter including time servers, DNS, gateway, netmask, and so on.
Getting Started In addition to the IP address, the server can offer the AD007 adapter additional network information. The additional information is not necessary for simple communication with the AD007, but may permit automatic configuration of network settings that would otherwise have to be manually configured. For a list of these network settings, see Network Setup on page 36. To find out how to configure your server for DHCP, contact your network administrator or consult the server manual.
Getting Started Installing the Adapter on the Network Use the procedures in this section to install the AD007 GPIB-LAN Adapter on a network. Contacting the Network Administrator Please contact your local network administrator or network services before connecting the AD007 adapter. For your convenience, use the network information card included in the Read This First guide, or make two photocopies of the form shown in Figure 4.
Getting Started To contact your network administrator or network services, do these steps: 1. Find the Ethernet hardware address on the back of the AD007 adapter (Figure 5) and copy it onto the card. Each AD007 adapter has a unique Ethernet hardware address. Ethernet hardware address Figure 5: Ethernet hardware address 2. Give both copies of the card to the network administrator who will assign an IP Address and fill out any other necessary information. 3.
Getting Started 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 address, subnet mask, default router for the adapter on the network H Configure the DHCP or BOOTP server NOTE. A network technician should determine the network subnet that the AD007 adapter connects to.
Getting Started Before You Proceed Before you proceed with the rest of the installation, make sure you can answer yes to the following questions: H Does the network administrator have the Ethernet Hardware address of the AD007 adapter? H Do you have the IP address and/or host name that the network administrator has assigned to the AD007 adapter? H Do you have a DHCP/BOOTP server that has been set up to serve a static IP address - or-- do you have the IP address, subnet mask, and default router address that
Getting Started Setup Procedure 1 - Complete Factory Reset, Set DHCP On If the following conditions are true, you may want to completely reset the adapter to the factory default settings. H The adapter has been used before and is configured with unknown settings. H DHCP is off and the adapter does not request an IP address from the network. H You are not able to access the web pages of the adapter because the adapter is configured with unknown settings. H You want to turn DHCP on.
