If you fail to see a link light try removing and reinserting the cable or trying
a different, known good, cable. Also, make sure that you are using the cor-
rect cable.

PING

There is a simple utility built into OS-X that tests the network connection
between two devices. The following steps outline how to use this utility.

In the Applications folder, double click the Terminal icon.

1.

At the prompt enter ping -c 4 <IP address of your PCM96> and press

2.

Enter. The data should appear something like this:

PING <IP address of your PCM96>: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96>: icmp_seq=0 ttl=62 time=1.118 ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96>: icmp_seq=1 ttl=62 time=1.093 ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96>: icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=1.067ms
64 bytes from <IP address of your PCM96>: icmp_seq=3 ttl=62 time=1.042ms

--- <IP address of your PCM96> ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.042/1.08/1.118 ms

If you get a “Reply from” response from the IP address that you were ping-
ing in a timely manner, it means that you have a valid network connection
between the two devices.

If you receive a “No route to host” or “0 packets received” message, this indi-
cates that your computer is not communicating with the device.
