Pinging to determine the Web IP address

The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the Web
address rather than the numeric IP address.
At the DOS prompt, type ping -a {IP address} and then press [Enter]. The
computer's return display is similar to the Ping response shown in figure A-2,
except that when you specify the -a modifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the
web IP address rather than the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you
entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the DOS prompt. Telnet allows you to
input SIS commands to the MTPX Plus switcher from the PC via the Ethernet link

1. On the Windows task bar, click Start > Run.
2. At the Open prompt, type command.
