“Ping”
Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests. Ping is
used diagnostically to ensure that a host computer you are trying to reach is actually operating. If, for example, a user
can’t ping a host, then the user will be unable to send files to that host. Ping operates by sending a packet to a
designated address and waiting for a response. The basic operation of Ping can be performed by following these steps
in any Windows operating system.
Click on the Start Menu and select Run. Type in “cmd” and enter, you should then see the command screen come up.
There will be a certain directory specified (unique to your own PC) with a flashing cursor at the end. At the cursor type
the word “ping” leaving a space and the default IP address for the XYR301-E at first start-up.
This command would be written as
―
ping 192.168.0.118 then <enter> to send the ping command. The PC will reply
with an acknowledgement of your command and if your XYR301E is correctly configured your reply will look
something like this.
