Testing the network connection

You can use the ping command to check the connection between two IP
addresses. This allows you to test whether a unit in the network is active.
– Open the DOS command prompt.
– Type ping followed by the IP address of the VIP X1600 module.
If the VIP X1600 module is found, the response appears as Reply from ...
followed by the number of bytes sent and the transmission time in milliseconds.
If not, the unit cannot be accessed via the network. This might be because:
❚ The VIP X1600 is not correctly connected to the network. Check the cable
connections in this case.
❚ The VIP X1600 module is not correctly integrated into the network. Check the
IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.

Restart (Reset)

You can initiate a restart of the VIP X1600 module, for example if the module is
no longer responding. In this case all settings are maintained.
– In the address field of the Web browser, enter /reset after the IP address
of the VIP X1600 module (for example 192.168.0.16/reset).
A new page with the message going to reset Reconnecting in ... seconds
appears, showing the length of time to the next automatic reconnection.
