Configuring the Gateway

This section gives guidelines to configure the E2050 LAN/GPIB Gateway, including:

nSetting Default Configuration Settings

nChanging the Configuration Method

nUsing the Gateway’s syslog File

nTerminating 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-resetTelnet command. Once the Gateway has been returned to the default configuration values, follow the configuration procedures in Chapter 3 to reconfigure the Gateway.

CAUTION

Any client operations in progress and client connections will be terminated by factory-resetwhen it reboots 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.
