Once you have set up your IP interface, you may want to check to see if the
LANplex system can communicate with other systems over the IP network.
To do this, you can "ping" the IP address of your management station.
Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo facility to send
an ICMP echo request packet to the IP station you specify. It then waits for
an ICMP echo reply packet. Possible responses from ping are:
Alive
No answer
Network is unreachable
A network is unreachable when there is no route to that network.
To ping an IP station:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip ping
2 Enter the IP address of the station you want to ping.
IP Address: 192.9.200.40
You may receive one of the following responses:
192.9.200.40 is alive
OR
no answer from 192.9.200.40
For a remote IP address, you can also receive the following response:
Network is unreachable
You should receive a response that the address you pinged is Alive. If you do
not receive this response, ensure that you have the correct interface values
defined.
