    Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Barricade, use the “Ping” command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Barricade. The following example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window.

    This appendix describes common problems you may encounter and possible solutions to them. The Barricade can be easily monitored through panel indicators to identify problems. If you cannot resolve any connection problems after checking the indicators, then refer to the other sections in the following table.
