Agilent Technologies E2050-90003 manual Using the Telnet Utility

Administration

Using the Telnet Utility

3If you do not know the IP address or hostname of the Gateway:

n After the Gateway has been powered-on, press the Config Preset button on the back panel of the LAN/GPIB Gateway. This forces the Gateway to temporarily use the 192.0.0.192 default IP address without modifying any other configuration values.

n If you are using an HP-UX client system, as root, type route add host 192.0.0.192 your_system_name Return.

n If you are using a Windows 95/98/2000/Me/NT client system,

at the > prompt in the MS-DOS window, type route add 192.0.0.192 your_system_name Enter. This sets up a route table entry on your client system for the Gateway at its default IP address.

4To connect you to the Gateway at its temporary (default) IP address, use the following commands. If you are using an HP-UX client system, type: telnet 192.0.0.192 Return. If you are using a Windows 95/ 98/Me/2000/NT client system, type: telnet 192.0.0.192 Enter.

When you are connected to the Gateway’s Telnet utility, you will see a listing of the main Telnet commands and a listing of the current configuration values for this Gateway.

The following is an example screen for an E2050 LAN/GPIB Gateway. Many of the configuration values in this example screen are not the default values, which means this example Gateway was previously configured. The configuration values you see for your Gateway may be different from those shown here.
