I am installing the GPIB-ENET/100 on my linux workstation running RHEL6, 2.6.32 with NI488.2 driver version 17.0. I launch the gpibexplorer utility and add new device. I select my staticIP assigned and the utility finds the device (serial, mac, hostname, etc). I then, however, am unable to change those settings. I am prompted to set the CFG_RESET button (which i successfully do), but am still unable to to change those settings. I believe this prevents me from adding the device and thus configuring the driver.
I am able to ping the device successfully. I have this connected on eth1, a second ethernet interface I setup (dedicated for instrument control). the gpibtsw yields no help. I was investigating using ibconf but this seems like a wall given how old it is.
One side note. I have many systems with this device and they are installed on ancient solaris machines. Thats how I was able to cheat and set the static IP in the first place, by using the older ibconf utilities. I am worried that utimately I need the driver properly configured on my linux machine, so its not as simple as just writing the network config to the gpib-enet.
Please.....anyone have anything I can try?
