Verifying the TCP/IP Connection
After you install the TCP/IP communication protocol and configure an IP address in the
same network with the RoamAbout R1, you can use the Ping command to check if your
computer is successfully connected to the RoamAbout R1. The following example shows
how the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window.
ping 192.168.2.1
If the following messages appear:
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
A communication link between your computer and the RoamAbout R1 has been
successfully established.
