Pinging to determine Matrix IP Address
The Microsoft ® Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet
interface between the computer and the switcher. Ping can also be used to
determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the web
address.
Ping the switcher as follows:
On the Windows task bar, click on Start > Run.
1.
2. At the Open prompt, type command.
3. Click the OK button.
4. At the DOS prompt, type ping {IP address} and then press [Enter]. The
computer returns a display similar to figure A-2.
The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of
whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Pinging to determine 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 return
display of the computer 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.
