Check the PC’s Network Configuration
To check the PC‟s network configuration, type the command
ipconfig /all
in the Command Prompt
window. The network interface of the PC is displayed.
If using the ZyWAN-G9 as a DHCP Server to the PC:

Make sure the PC Dhcp Enabled is set to Yes .

Make sure that the PC has been given a proper address from the ZyWAN-G9
, according to how it‟s
configured.
If using the PC in a fixed address mode, check the address and make sure that it is compatible with
the address and subnet necessary to communicate on the network or direct to the ZyWAN-G9,
depending on the test being performed.
If the ZyWAN-G9 is acting as a DHCP Server to the PC and is configured to serve the DNS addresses,
these are displayed in the
ipconfig settings.
Using ZyWAN COM1 for Diagnostics
When using a null modem serial cable connected to COM1, as described in Initial Connection Over a
Network on page 34 , several commands can be issued to the ZyWAN-G9 to diagnose network
configuration or operation.
To check network configuration or availability, use the command
ifconfig
To set a temporary network address on an interface, use the command:
ifconfig interface ip_address netmask subnet
where interface is the network name (eth0, eth1, eth2), ip_address is the actual address on the
network, and subnet is the subnet mask in dotted notation (such as 255.255.0.0).
To send a diagnostic message to another device on a network, use the command:
ping address
where
address
is the numeric or named address of another device. Press Ctrl-C to stop the ping.
