About This Manual
This manual contains instructions for installing and configuring the National Instruments
GPIB-ENET and NI-488.2 software for Macintosh. This manual is meant to be used with the NI-488.2 User Manual for Macintosh and the NI-488.2 Function Reference Manual
for Macintosh.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the Macintosh and with Ethernet and
Internet networks, and that your Macintosh is connected to an Ethernet network. This manual also assumes you have MacTCP installed on your Macintosh, which is required before you can use the driver software for the GPIB-ENET. You must order the TCP/IP
Connection for Macintosh software separately from Apple Computer, Inc.
