Querying the Gateway
Querying the Configuration Method
If you do not know the configuration method currently used for the Gateway,
you can determine the method via the bootp: ON/OFF Telnet configuration
value. To do this:
1 At the Telnet prompt (>), type config. This displays the current
configuration settings for the Gateway.
2 Check the bootp: configuration setting. If it is set to OFF, the
current configuration method is the Telnet configuration method.
If the configuration setting is set to ON, the current configuration
method is BOOTP or BOOTP with TFTP configuration method.
If you want to change the configuration method, see “Changing the
Configuration Method”. If you want to continue using the current
configuration method, but need to change one or more of configuration
values, see Chapter 3 to reconfigure the Gateway.
Querying Gateway/Client Connections
This section shows how to query the status of the Gateway and its client
connections (the LAN client computer systems that are connected to the
Gateway to perform I/O operations via the Gateway).
To query the status of the Gateway and client connections via the Telnet
utility, type status at the Telnet prompt (>). This displays the Telnet status
screen that lists all current clients connected to this Gateway.
