Steps to Set Configuration Values

To configure an E2050 LAN/GPIB Gateway on a network, you will need to:

nKnow the configuration values that can be used for the Gateway, including the defaults (if any) that are preset for each configuration value.

nDecide which configuration values you will need to change or set for the Gateway.

nUse one of three configuration methods on HP-UX or use the Telnet configuration method on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me or Windows NT to change or set desired configuration values for the Gateway.

Configuration Values Descriptions

This section provides a brief description of the configuration values that are used to configure the E2050 LAN/GPIB Gateway on a network.

The most important configuration value is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the LAN/GPIB Gateway. Without a proper IP address, the Gateway may not respond or may operate unexpectedly.

At a minimum, you must set the IP address for the LAN/GPIB Gateway on your network. In fact, the IP address may be the only configuration value you will need to set. To determine what configuration values other than the IP address (if any) you will need for the Gateway, see this section and the “Default Configuration Settings” section.
