attached directly to a PC as described in Appendix A so the IP parameters may be set.
Verifying proper connection and configuration
The connection and configuration may be verified from a PC attached to the LAN using the
network “ping” command. From a command prompt, enter
“ping <assigned IP address>”
The response will either indicate whether a connection was established.
