The NK8237 download requires that the TCP/IP connection between the engineer-
ing PC and the NK82xx is working properly. You can easily check this connection
using the Ping command; proceed as follows:
1. Run the Command Prompt.
From the Start menu:
Start  Programs  Accessories  Command Prompt.
A black window appears.
2. Type: ping n.n.n.n <enter>,
with n.n.n.n being the 4-number IP address of the NK8237 unit.
3. Analyse the reply message.
If the IP connection is good, the message text looks like:
Reply from n.n.n.n: bytes=... time ... TTL="
If the IP connection is not working for any reason, different messages may ap-
pear (Request timed out, Destination net unreachable, etc.). In these cases,
verify the network settings and cabling and try again.
