3152B User Manual
•
Use Ethernet to control VXIbus modules adjacent to the 3152B
using VXIbus local bus lines (for modules designed to interface
with the 3152B in this way).
The programming section of this manual lists the default settings.
Additional descriptions of LAN settings are given below.
Direct connection between a single host computer and a single device
is also possible, but you must use a special cable that has its transmit
and receive lines crossed. If your site is already wired, connect the
3152B via twisted pair Ethernet cable. Take care that you use twisted
pair wires designed for 10/100 BaseT network use (phone cables will
not work). Refer interconnection issues to your network administrator.
After you connect the 3152B to the LAN port, proceed to the LAN
Configuration section in this chapter for instructions how to set up
LAN parameters.
LAN
Configuration
There are several parameters that you may have to set to establish
network communications with a LAN interface. Primarily you’ll need to
establish an IP address. You may need to contact your network
administrator for help in establishing communications with the LAN
interface. To change LAN configuration, you’ll need to use some LAN
commands that are listed in the programming reference. The
programmed parameters will be updated with the new setting only
after you turn the VXI chassis off and on once.
Note there are some LAN parameters cannot be accessed or
modified; These are: Physical Address and Host Name. These
parameters are set in the factory and are unique for this product. The
only parameters that can be modified are the IP Address, the Subnet
mask and the Default gateway. Correct setting of these parameters is
essential for correct interfacing with the LAN network.
Description of the LAN settings is given in the following. Information
how to modify the LAN setting is given in the programming section of
this manual.
Note
Configuring your LAN setting does not automatically
select the LAN as your active remote interface.
There are three LAN parameters that can be modified and adjusted
specifically to match your network setting; These are described below.
Consult your network administrator for the setting that will best suit
your application.

IP address
- The unique, computer-readable address of a device
on your network. An IP address typically is represented as four
decimal numbers separated by periods (for example,
192.160.0.233). Refer to the next section - Choosing a Static IP
Address.
