Administration
Configuring the Gateway
To modify the configuration method by pressing the
Config Preset
button,
press the
Config Preset
button on the back panel of the LAN/GPIB Gateway
at the same time as you power-on the Gateway. This changes all
configuration values back to the default values, including setting the
bootp:
ON/OFF
value to the default ON value. You may now use either the BOOTP
or the BOOTP with TFTP configuration method.
Using the Gateway’s syslog File
This section shows how to view and maintain a
syslog
file for the LAN/
GPIB Gateway. The Gateway sends status information, configuration error
messages, and run-time error messages to a
syslog
file. The
syslog
file
is configured via the syslog server address configuration value. For more
information, see “Configuration Values” in
Chapter 3 .
Viewing
syslog
Messages
The messages logged to a file can be viewed via the
syslog-
display
Telnet command. To do this, at the Telnet prompt (
>
), type:
syslog-display
.
You can also view messages by looking in the
syslog
file itself on the
computer system acting as the syslog server. In general, the same
messages can be viewed in either or both places. However, a few
differences do exist:
n
Messages viewed with the
syslog-display
Telnet command
are shorter versions of the messages that are sent to the actual
syslog
file. In particular,
syslog-display
messages do not
show the date or time when the message was logged.
n
All
syslog-display
messages are cleared out each time the
Gateway powers on or reboots, or the
syslog-clear
Telnet
command is executed.
NOTE
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT clients do not support a
syslog
server.
However, you cab use the
syslog-display
Telnet command on
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT clients to view messages stored in the
E2050.
