Hi,

Does any one knows the difference between the HP Lan-HPIB server model
E2050A and the model E2050B ?
Is it the same hardware with just an improved software? It seems but I'm not
sure...
If yes, does someone has a copy of the EPROM of the E2050B to update my
E2050A?

Many thanks for the reply.

In fact I opened the box and there are two flash EEPROM PA28F200BX
I'm pretty sure this box can be upgraded.

U-2 has the software:
E2050
88811
091A5E38
9603

U-3 has the software:
E2050
88812
A.01.00
9550

Does someone has a service document for this small box and how to update it
under the RS232 serial port or even the Ethernet LAN or the HPIB port?
And who could send me the copy of these two firmware? (one is certainly the
bootstrap and the other the TCPIP/HPIB code)
This is just an asumption...
I would like to have this box at the latest revision possible, and
apparently mine is at one of the first one if not the first...

Thanks for the help

Although I can't be sure, with some HP devices you would just FTP the
new firmware to the device's IP address.

Any replacement firmware should be on HP's Web site. Have you checked
there for updates, instruction or manuals.

There is a possibility this device is not on the main HP Web site, buton
the
Agilent Web site instead, at www.agilent.com.

Hi Aidan,

Thanks for the info, I've checked and found the manual on the Agilent site
but not any firmware upgrade.
I'm pretty sure that this upgrade exits somewhere at least internally at
Agilent and as the product isn't anymore supported someone could have it and
distribute without any problem...

Many thanks,
Pierre-François
