Using Telnet Configuration Method (HP-UX)
To configure the LAN/GPIB Gateway on your network using Telnet from an
HP-UX client system, do the following:
1 Power-on the Gateway by plugging the AC power cord from the
power module into a power outlet (wall outlet).
2 After the Gateway is powered on, press the recessed
Config Preset
button on the back panel of the Gateway. This causes the Gateway
to temporarily use its default IP address, 192.0.0.192. The
LAN
Conn
(LAN Connect) LED on the front panel of the Gateway will
flash slowly, showing that the default IP address is now in use.
3 Log into a client computer system (the Series 700 HP-UX
workstation) as root.
4 At the system prompt, type:
route add host 192.0.0.192
your_system_name Return
This sets up a route table entry on your client system for the Gateway
at its default IP address.
5 At the system prompt, type:
telnet 192.0.0.192
Return
This connects you to the Gateway at its temporary, default IP
address.
When you are connected to the Gateway, you will see the message:
Connected to 192.0.0.192. This is followed by general information
about the Telnet utility commands and a listing of the current configuration
settings for this Gateway.
NOTE
If you are unable to make a Telnet connection using the default IP
address (192.0.0.192), try pressing the
Config Preset button again
and then try the telnet command (Step 5). If you are still unsuccessful,
see Chapter 5.
