Using Ping to Test
the Network
Connection
If you have connected the FS4 to a computer and set up the IP address and still do not
see the FS4 screens in your browser, you can ping the network to verify the connection.
Simply run the Ping utility from a Mac OS X or Windows PC computer attached directly or
on the same LAN as the FS4 as described below:
Mac Ping Procedure
1. Find the Utilities Folder inside of the Applications Folder.
2. Locate the “Terminal” utility application and double-click it.
3. On the FS4, select the
STATUS
button and go to System Status menu (with the FS4
name) to read the unit’s currently configured IP address.
NOTE:
The STATUS menu always shows the FS4’s current IP address. The IP address on the CONFIG
menu is a database entry, which occasionally may not be the address the unit is using.
4. At the Mac terminal prompt, enter
ping
and the IP address noted in
. For
example: ping 192.168.0.2 (and press Return)
5. If successful, the ping utility will respond that packets were sent, received and how
long it took. For example:
64 bytes from 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.590 ms
6. If unsuccessful, check the FS4 network settings and resolve the problem with your IT
administrator.

Web Browser Control
To control the FS4 from a web browser on a network attached computer, enter the FS4 IP
address as a URL in the browser. For example, if the FS4 IP address were “90.0.6.31”, you
would then type into the web browser: http://90.0.6.31. This topic is explained in greater
detail in
Chapter 5: Browser Remote Control.
