Step 2: Configure your PC in such a way that you have access to the network range
from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254. For this purpose, you may have to assign your PC
a second IP address (e. g. IP address 192.168.0.100, net mask = 255.255.255.0). For
details refer to
page 56.
To assign a new IP address to your PC, you require administrator rights.
Step 3: Try to ping the Linking Device. Open a DOS box and enter the following command:
ping 192.168.0.10.
The Linking Device must respond.
If it does not respond, proceed as follows:
• Check whether the Linking Device is correctly connected to the LAN and whether
it is switched on.
• Check also whether your PC is correctly connected to the LAN by a cable.
• Check whether the PC has been configured with a valid IP address from the subnet
192.168.0.0. Try to ping the second (local) IP address of your PC (in this example
192.168.0.100).
If the local host does not respond, the second IP address has not been initialized
correctly.
Step 4: If you have access to the Linking Device from your PC, you can change its
network configuration with a web browser. For details refer to
page 64.
