Testing Network Connectivity
1. Verify that the network router is available to the unit by typing the command
PING <
IP_address>
. A router is
always a good candidate to test pings. The following screenshot is an example of a successful ping test.
>ping 192.168.100.2

2. Press <CTRL + C> to stop the ping testing. If <CTRL + C> is not pressed, the unit will continue pinging
attempts indefinitely.
3. If there is an error message or no response from the router, first check the network settings and connection,
then consult your System Administrator or
4. Using a Telnet client, connect to the IP address assigned to the unit.
SNMP Trap Setup
If you will be using the S571 to send SNMP traps, this section will help you ensure it is set up correctly.
Setup
1. Configure the network settings as described in the previous section.
2. Select the Network Settings then SNMP Settings sub-menu.
3. Verify the SNMP Agent is enabled for the version of SNMP you are using, the SNMP Community names are
correct for your network, any SNMP Trap Settings that are desired, as well as the preferred security method.
(See the
section of the Network Settings chapter of this manual for more information.)
4. Switch to the
menu and enter the Hostname or IP address of the computer to receive the
traps into the field, “Hostname/IP Address 1”.
5. Press <CTRL + C> to exit the Setup menu and return to the command prompt.
6. On the computer that will be receiving the SNMP traps, start your preferred SNMP trap manager
Testing SNMP Traps
1. Using a Telnet client, connect to the IP address assigned to the unit.
2. Enter the command
DOTRAP
from the command prompt.
3. Verify that the trap manager receives the test trap.
4.
If there is an error message or no response from the router, first check the network settings and connection,
