Use the Dest: box on the Ping Test to check the ‘gateway’ is ‘OK’.
If there is PC connected to the same LAN, open an internet browser and go to any public web

Planning a Simple Network for Digital Cinema
All the network devices connected on a single network will have the same zone address and each
device will have its own network address.
Use a standard private network, for example 192.168.0.X (X can be in the range 1 – 254)
Most networks have a Gateway (sometimes called a router) which connects to other networks, eg to
the internet via the modem provided by the ISP. This is normally numbered either 1 or 254
Gateway = 192.168.0.1
The mask (also called the netmask) specifies the size of the network. For simple networks this is:
Mask = 255.255.255.0
There is a single address for devices to communicate with all other devices on the LAN at once.
This is the Broadcast Address. For simple networks, the first 3 number groups are the same as the IP
addresses and the 4th group is 255
Broadcast Addr = 192.168.0.255
Next assign a network address for each device in a logical and memorable way, for example:
Screen 1

192.168.0.10
D-Cinema

192.168.0.11
