1. Assign the HP E2050A LAN/GPIB Gateway an IP address based on it's HW MAC Address
   • The HW MAC address will be in the form: 08:00:09:1A:DE:80
   • Your router should support DHCP Reservations via HW MAC address.
   • The router will need to be restarted for the settings to take effect.
2. Hold down the HP E2050A reset button while applying power.
   • The "Conn" LED should start blinking quickly, which identifies that the E2050A has been reset and the current settings have been cleared.
3. Telnet to the IP address reserved via the HP E2050A HW MAC address in the router.
   • telnet 172.16.1.60
4. Set the configuration parameters as follows:

               hostname:        hpiblana        # Internet domain name 
               hardware-addr:   0800091ADE80    # Ethernet station address

               lan-timeout:     0               # LAN connect timeout in seconds 
               io-timeout:      120             # Server I/O timeout in seconds 
               allow:           *               # IP allow list 
               
               hpib-address:    21              # HP-IB System Controller Address 
               hpib-name:       hpib            # HP-IB interface symbolic name 
               hpib-unit:       7               # HP-IB logical unit number
