Configuring the Gateway
To modify the configuration method by pressing the Config Preset button,
press the
Config Preset button on the back panel of the LAN/GPIB Gateway
at the same time as you power-on the Gateway. This changes all
configuration values back to the default values, including setting the bootp:
ON/OFF value to the default ON value. You may now use either the BOOTP
or the BOOTP with TFTP configuration method.
Using the Gateway’s syslog File
This section shows how to view and maintain a syslog file for the LAN/
GPIB Gateway. The Gateway sends status information, configuration error
messages, and run-time error messages to a syslog file. The syslog file
is configured via the syslog server address configuration value. For more
information, see “Configuration Values” in Chapter 3.
Viewing syslog
Messages
The messages logged to a file can be viewed via the syslog-
display Telnet command. To do this, at the Telnet prompt (>), type:
syslog-display.
You can also view messages by looking in the syslog file itself on the
computer system acting as the syslog server. In general, the same
messages can be viewed in either or both places. However, a few
differences do exist:
n Messages viewed with the syslog-display Telnet command
are shorter versions of the messages that are sent to the actual
syslog file. In particular, syslog-display messages do not
show the date or time when the message was logged.
n All syslog-display messages are cleared out each time the
Gateway powers on or reboots, or the syslog-clear Telnet
command is executed.
NOTE
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT clients do not support a syslog server.
However, you cab use the syslog-display Telnet command on
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT clients to view messages stored in the
E2050.
