Return. Then, type y Return to
confirm your changes. Rebooting activates the configuration values
you have set for the Gateway.
8 After you have rebooted the Gateway, test that the Gateway has
been successfully configured by using the ping command. This
command allows you to test general network connectivity between
your client computer system and the LAN/GPIB Gateway. At the
client system, type: ping hostname (or) IP_address
Return
For example, using a Gateway’s hostname:
ping E2050.agilent.com Return
Or, using a Gateway’s IP address:
ping 156.140.4.249
Return
You should get a response from the ping command that is similar to
the following, where each line after the
PING line is an example of a
packet successfully reaching the Gateway from the client system.
If the ping response is similar to the following, the Gateway has
been configured successfully. If, after several seconds, ping does
not print any lines, use
Ctrl+C to kill ping. The ping will then report
on what it found.
CAUTION
If you are reconfiguring the Gateway, any client operations in progress
and client connections will be terminated by the reboot command.
