n Using BOOTP with TFTP Configuration Method
Configuration Methods Overview
Summary descriptions of the three methods to configure an E2050
LAN/GPIB Gateway on a network follow.
| NOTE |
|
| If you configure the Gateway on your network from a Windows 95/98/2000/ | |
| Me/NT Client System, you must use the Telnet configuration method. |
|
| Neither the BOOTP nor the BOOTP with TFTP configuration methods |
|
| are available on Windows 95/98/2000/Me/NT. |
|
| If you configure the Gateway on your network from an |
|
| System, you can use any one of the three configuration methods. |
|
Telnet |
|
|
Telnet is a networking protocol that connects to the Gateway and then |
| |
| provides a command line interface to assist you in configuring the Gateway | |
| on the network. If you prefer to use a command line interface (rather than |
|
| having to edit files, as you would in the BOOTP and the BOOTP with TFTP | |
| methods), you may want to choose this method to configure the Gateway on | |
| the network. You can use Telnet from either an | |
| 2000/Me/NT client system to set or change any of the configuration values | |
| for the Gateway. |
|
| The Telnet utility used to configure the LAN/GPIB Gateway is also used to | |
| administer the Gateway after it has been configured on the network. For |
|
| example, you can use the Telnet utility to monitor the status of client |
|
| connections, etc. Thus, you may want to use the Telnet configuration |
|
| method because you will be using the same Telnet utility in the future for |
|
| administration tasks. |
