If the signal is strong enough, a link may be established, and the Connectivity webpage of the
Access Point may be opened. If the link is weak, the LINK led will go out, and the remote
Connectivity webpage of the Access Point will fail to load. Using this procedure, the signal
strengths of units at both locations may be analysed, and traffic is sent between the units whilst
remote WebPages are opened.

4.4.1 PING
Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify that a particular IP address exists and can
accept requests. Ping is used diagnostically to ensure that a host computer you are trying to reach
is actually operating. If, for example, a user can't ping a host, then the user will be unable to send
files to that host. Ping operates by sending a packet to a designated address and waiting for a
response. The basic operation of Ping can be performed by following these steps in any Windows
operating system.
Click on the Start Menu and select Run. Type in “cmd” and enter, you should then see the
command screen come up. There will be a certain directory specified (unique to your own PC)
with a flashing cursor at the end. At the cursor type the word “ping” leaving a space and the
default IP address for the XYR 400E at first startup.
This command would be written as Ping 192.168.123.123 then Enter to send the ping command.
The PC will reply with an acknowledgement of your command and if your XYR 400E is
correctly configured your reply will look something like this.
The screen shot below shows the response of the “ping 192.168.123.123 –t” command.
