Connect the Hardware
After configuring the switch settings on your GPIB-ENET, complete the following steps
to connect the GPIB-ENET to an Ethernet network.

Step 1. Connect the Cables

1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the GPIB-ENET and securely fasten it. Connect the
other end to your Ethernet network. Be sure to follow all IEEE 802.3 cabling
restrictions.
2. Connect the GPIB cable to the GPIB-ENET and tighten the thumb screws on
the connector. Connect the other end to your GPIB system. Be sure to follow all
IEEE 488.1 cabling restrictions, and use only shielded GPIB cables.
3. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet of the correct voltage.
