Testing the network connection

The ping command can be used to check the connection between two IP
addresses. This allows you to test whether a device is active in the network.
– Open the DOS command prompt.
– Type ping followed by the IP address of the device.
If the device is found, the response appears as " Reply from ... ", followed
by the number of bytes sent and the transmission time in milliseconds.
Otherwise, the device cannot be accessed via the network. This might be
because
The device is not properly connected to the network. Check the cable
connections in this case.
The device is not correctly integrated into the network. Check the IP-address,
subnet mask and gateway address.

Device reset

The Factory-reset button can be used to reset the unit to its original settings. Any
changes in the settings will be overwritten by the factory defaults. This may be
necessary, for example, if the unit has invalid settings that prevent it from
functioning as desired.
Warning!
All configured settings will be discarded during a reset. If necessary, back
up the current configuration using the Download button on the Firmware
and configuration upload configuration page (see page 74).
Note
After a reset, the unit can only be addressed via the factory default IP
address. The IP address can be changed as described in the chapter
"Installation" (see page 22).
