Configuring the Gateway
This section gives guidelines to configure the E2050 LAN/GPIB Gateway,
including:
n Setting Default Configuration Settings
n Changing the Configuration Method
n Using the Gateway’s syslog File
n Terminating Client Connections
Setting Default Configuration Values
To return the Gateway to all of its default configuration values, you can
either press the
Config Preset button on the back panel of the LAN/GPIB
Gateway at the same time that you power-on the Gateway or you can
execute the factory-reset Telnet command. Once the Gateway has
been returned to the default configuration values, follow the configuration
procedures in Chapter 3 to reconfigure the Gateway.
Changing the Configuration Method
Before changing the configuration mode, for Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT
client systems, you must use the Telnet configuration method. Neither the
BOOTP or the BOOTP with TFTP configuration methods are available on
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT.
Before modifying the configuration method used for the Gateway, you may
want to determine if the Gateway is currently in use via the status Telnet
command. See “Querying Gateway/Client Connections” for information
about the status command.
If the Gateway is currently in use, you may want to alert users that you will
be reconfiguring and rebooting the Gateway. This is because any client
operations in progress and client connections will be terminated by the
reboot command. Users will then have to re-open sessions on the
Gateway after the reboot occurs.
CAUTION
Any client operations in progress and client connections will be
terminated by factory-reset when it reboots the Gateway.
