Configuring the Bridge

3.10Clearing the Bridge’s Configuration

You may want to clear the bridge’s current setup: its IP configuration and mapping tables. For example, if you intend to reinstall the bridge into a different application you may wish to assign a new configuration to the bridge for that application.

You will be using the CFGUTIL utility to clear the bridge’s configuration. Here are the steps.

Setup

If a keyboard and monitor are already connected to the bridge, stop the bridge by pressing Q and confirming that you want to quit the bridge application.

If a keyboard and monitor are not connected, remove power to the bridge and connect them to the bridge’s connector panel. Restore power to the bridge. If the bridge does not display its CFGUTIL menu, stop the bridge application by pressing Q and confirming that you want to quit the bridge application.

Clearing the Configuration

At the C:\ prompt, enter: CFGUTIL to start the configuration utility.

The CFGUTIL menu should now be displayed. An example is shown in Figure 14. Your menu should display your current configuration for the bridge.

Edit the CFGUTIL menu fields as follows:

H IP Address: Enter bootp into this field.

HNet Mask: Clear this field.

HName Server: Clear this field. H Gateway: Clear this field.

H Domain: Clear this field.

When you finish editing the fields, press Escape. You will be prompted:

Write files to disk?

Enter Y to save the configuration. This will return you to the C:\ prompt.

Delete the file C:\RTE.CFG.

The bridge will now be cleared to its original configuration.
