Remote System Explorer searches for any FP-20xx or other National
Instruments Ethernet devices on the subnet. The serial number shown
corresponds to the serial number of your FP-20xx. The status of the
module is
Unconfigured
because you have not set an IP address
for it.
6. Double-click the serial number of the FP-20xx youwanttoconfigure.
Alternatively, you can right-click the network module and choose
Configure Device.
7. Enter values on the Network Settings tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, shown in the following figure. Refer to Appendix A,
Choosing Network Settings, for more information about choosing
appropriate addresses for these fields. You also can click Suggest
Values to let the software provide default parameters. If your network
does not have a gateway server or DNS server, you should set these
parameters to
0.0.0.0

• IP Address—The unique, computer-readable address of a device
on your network. An IP address is typically represented as four
numbers separated by periods (for example,
130.164.55.112
)
where the numbers can be between 0 and 255, inclusive.
• Subnet Mask—A code that helps the network device determine
whether another device is on the same subnet or a different subnet.
The most common subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
.
