Value | Default Value | Description |
|
|
|
Hardware Address | N/A | The hardware address value cannot be set or changed with |
(MAC) (cont’d) |
| Telnet configuration of the LAN/GPIB Gateway. However, the |
|
| hardware address value must be specified and set when using |
|
| the BOOTP or the BOOTP with TFTP configuration method. |
|
|
|
Hostname | E2050 | This value configures the Internet domain name for the LAN/ |
|
| GPIB Gateway. This name is used in some error and status |
|
| messages, but is not a required configuration setting. The |
|
| maximum length of the hostname value is 35 characters. |
|
|
|
21 | This value configures the GPIB bus address. This address is | |
|
| used when transfers are made on the GPIB bus. A SICL client |
|
| application can change this value by using the SICL function |
|
| IGPIBBUSADDR. The GPIB address value can be any number |
|
| 0 through 30. |
|
|
|
hpib | This value is the symbolic name of the GPIB interface in the | |
Name |
| LAN/GPIB Gateway. It is used in a SICL client application’s |
|
| iopen operation to symbolically reference the GPIB interface |
|
| in the Gateway. The maximum length of the GPIB interface |
|
| name is 15 characters. |
|
| If |
|
| be changed to gpib0. Also, for VISA LAN client, this name |
|
| must match the name set in the IO Config utility. |
|
|
|
7 | This value is the interface logical unit number of the GPIB | |
|
| interface in the LAN/GPIB Gateway. It may be used in a SICL |
|
| client application’s iopen statement to uniquely identify the |
|
| GPIB interface in the Gateway. The GPIB logical unit value can |
|
| be any number 1 through 255. |
|
|
|
I/O Timeout | 120 sec | This value sets the server I/O timeout in seconds. It configures |
|
| the Gateway to use an I/O timeout of the specified amount of |
|
| seconds if the client requests a timeout of infinity. If 0 is |
|
| specified for this value and the client requests infinity, the |
|
| Gateway will use a timeout of infinity as requested. |
|
| This timeout value may be used to ensure that the Gateway |
|
| does not wait indefinitely for an I/O operation. It also allows the |
|
| Gateway to detect certain network events (such as when a |
|
| client connection is dropped) that may otherwise go |
|
| undetected. If the Gateway detects such a condition, it will |
|
| release any resources, such as locks, associated with the |
|
| client. |
