Gpib-enet/100 no longer recognizes equipment

Hi, first of all, we purchased a company and they sent us their Automated test setup. It was functional, with thier old network, until the IS dept came and switched their old network to our current.

Now when I start the software ATE, it pops up a message saying, the power meter cannot be found. I tried to let the system continue, but then it seems unable to see any of the other instruments connected to the setup!

Can anybody out there help me?
When I try to detect the gpib-enet/100 with labview, it does not see the device attached to the system...

Hello,

I think that you're having general connectivity issues with your GPIB-ENET/100. My first guess would be that your IP addressing scheme changed when the new network was setup, so you probably need to re-assign a valid IP address to the ENET and reconfigure your computer to find the ENET. These are steps that are outlined in the "Getting Started" manual for the operating system that you're using, and you should be able to find that at the link below. A first troubleshooting step is to look in MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) to examine your setup. Your ENET/100 box should show up as "GPIB0" or something like that under "Devices and Interfaces". From here, you can do a "Scan For Instruments" to try to talk to the box and also see what instruments a
re out there.

There is also a lot of information about general setup and troubleshooting of your ENET device right here.
