To: Steven B.,
I am using "GPIB Getting Started with Your GPIB-ENET/100 and NI-488.2 for HP-UX", guide March 2001 Edition, P/N 322987A-01 to help me with the installation of a GPIB-ENET/100 device on a HP-UX Workstation.
Our System Information:
1. We are using HP-UX 10.2
2. We have a "E154502 24 AWG CMR (UL) VERIFIED CATAGORY 5 PATCH CABLE ALLEN TEL PRODUCTS CSA LL97744 AWM I/II A/B FT4" blue cable connected from a "LINKSYS FAST ETHERNET 10/100 5-PORT NETWORK HUB" port 1 to a "GPIB-ENET/100" device.
We also have a "HITACHI DATA MASTER CATAGORY 5e -- HCM 4PR/24 AWG (UL) TYPE CM c(UL) -- TYPE FT4 -- (UL) -- VERIFIED TO TIA/EIA -- 568 -- B.2 CAT 5e -- 5/02 (A3394) 180738" green cable connected from the network port on our "STANDARD C3600 HP-UX CONTROLLER SERVER" to the "LINKSYS FAST ETHERNET 10/100 5-PORT NETWORK HUB" port 2.
3. We have TCP/IP installed on our UNIX controller.
4. We are using NI-488.2 Version 1.4.
Also:
Upon power up the PWR/RDY LED blinks red/yellow rapidly. After approx. 30-60 seconds later the PWR/RDY LED stays constant.
According to the guide because we are not connected to the network and therefore no DHCP is available, our GPIB-ENET/100 device should automatically go into network configuration mode recognized by the PWR/RDY LED continuing to blink red/yellow rapidly. This however does not happen. We have entered network configuration mode manually by holding down the CFG RESET switch for approx. 3 seconds. After this we run the EthernetConfig utility and we get the following results:
IP ADDRESS/HOSTNAME ETHERNET ADDRESS SERIAL NUMBER MODEL COMMENT
(0) *busy* 00:80:2F:0A:30:6B
When we try to view properties of the device we get the message: No device found.
We also performed the steps per Chapter 2, page 2-1 installing the software and running the instgpib utility. We followed the instructions that appeared and everything seemed to install fine. After we were having trouble above we decided to check the software installation using the ibtsta utility per 5-1 in the "GPIB Getting Started with Your GPIB-ENET/100 and NI-488.2 for HP-UX" guide. We got several errors of which this one shown is the first:
Error: (1) set gpib(0), status 0X8100 returned when 0X100 expected. Error ENEB returned.
Also, I cannot find the UNIX instruction or variable iberr anywhere. Can you tell me how I can find out the value of iberr?
Thank you,
Abel Fernandez
