Configuration Setup
Confirm TimeProvider 100 Network Communication
If not already done, a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable should be connected from the
TimeProvider 100 port labeled
MGMT
into the network connection for 10/100
Base-T.
There are a number of ways to confirm that TimeProvider 100 is now available on
the network. The following is a method available on any Windows
®
PC:
1. From a PC that is on the same network as the TimeProvider 100, select
Start >
Run
.
2. In the Run dialog box, select
cmd,
then click
OK.
This will initiate a command
session as shown in Figure 2-3 .
3. At the prompt, type
ping
followed by the TimeProvider 100 IP address, then
press
Enter
. See Figure 2-3 . The example shows successful connection.
Figure 2-3. Pinging the TimeProvider 100
The response shown in Figure 2-3 shows the TimeProvider 100 IP connection is
working properly.
If ping was not successful, here are some considerations:

First, ensure that a physical link has been established from the TimeProvider 100
to whatever it is connected to (likely a switch). The small green LED in the
upper-right-hand corner of the
MGMT
connector on the TimeProvider 100 (see
Figure 1-4 ) should be lit solid green. If it is not, there is likely a basic link problem.

Once the physical link is established, ensure that the device linked to the
TimeProvider 100 is capable of running 10/100 Base-T. The TimeProvider 100
will auto-negotiate the rate, but does not support speeds other than 10/100
Base-T.
