Using the CFG RESET Switch at Power-On
If you want to reset the unit to its default network characteristics, you can
use the CFG RESET switch at power-on. By pressing and holding the
CFG RESET switch while you power on the GPIB-ENET/100, the network
parameters revert to the default settings as defined on the baseplate label.
You must press and hold the switch for three seconds. If you release
the switch prior to three seconds, no change occurs to the network
configuration, and the GPIB-ENET/100 continues to boot normally.
The PWR/RDY LED goes through the following changes during these
three seconds:
1. The LED begins slowly alternating between red and yellow.
2. The alternating pattern increases in tempo.
3. At three seconds, the PWR/RDY LED becomes steady red. This
indicates the network configuration will be set to the factory default
settings.
4. When you release the CFG RESET switch, the box continues to boot
as normal, and the PWR/RDY LED indicates the boot process as
described in Table 1-1,
LED Descriptions .
Updating the Firmware
NI-488.2 for the GPIB-ENET/100 and Mac OS contains a firmware update
utility you can use to access new features that may be added to the
GPIB-ENET/100 in the future. It may be necessary to update the firmware
to take advantage of these new features.
You need to know either the IP address or hostname of your
GPIB-ENET/100 before you run the NI Ethernet Device Firmware
Update utility. If you do not remember this information, first run the
NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility by double-clicking the
EthernetConfig icon in the Ethernet/100 folder. Refer to Chapter 3,
Ethernet Configuration , for more information.
Caution Do not power-off the GPIB-ENET/100 or disconnect the power supply while
running the NI Ethernet Device Firmware Update utility. Doing so will damage the unit.
The GPIB-ENET/100 reboots automatically when the update completes.
