Configuration Methods
An example TFTP file follows. Consult your system documentation
for any other steps required to complete the TFTP configuration file.
# The E2050 gw1 Configuration File
hostname: E2050
# Timeouts

7 Once you have added the configuration values you want, save and
close the TFTP configuration file(s).
8 Power on the Gateway by plugging-in the power cord to the power
outlet (wall outlet).
As soon as it completes its hardware self-test, the Gateway will
begin sending BOOTP requests to the BOOTP server. While the
Gateway is sending BOOTP requests, the
LAN Conn (LAN Connect)
LED on the front panel of the Gateway will flash rapidly.
The BOOTP server should respond with the BOOTP response to
configure the Gateway. When the Gateway receives a valid
response from the BOOTP server, the
LAN Conn LED will stop
flashing.
9 Test that the Gateway has received the BOOTP response and has
configured itself by using the
ping command. This command allows
you to test general network connectivity between your client
computer system and the LAN/GPIB Gateway.
