Gateway Configuration > Gateways > Ping Gateway
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Gateways > Ping Gateway. Upon selection, a Ping (Packet INternet Groper)
command will test whether the IP address of the Gateway is reachable on the network. Ping sends a packet out on the net-
work and waits for a response; the result of the ping is indicated by a splash screen on the DL-Windows "Main Screen". A
successful test displays the IP address of the Gateway with the word "found"; an unsuccessful test displays the IP address
of the Gateway with the words "not found".
Gateway Configuration > Gateways > Show WAN / Port Information
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Gateways > Show WAN / Port Information. This feature expands the Gate-
way Configuration screen to show the WAN Address column and Port column. To collapse these columns, click
Gateways > Hide WAN / Port Information.
When using the "Internet Gateway Connectivity" support features (connection to the Gateway is made remotely over the
Internet), the WAN (Wide Area Network) Address and Gateway Port setting are required. These Remote Configuration set-
tings, previously set in the Network Configuration screen, are not automatically displayed in the Gateway Configuration
screen. Therefore you must click Gateways > Show WAN / Port Information to view your connection status. See Col-
or Definitions on page 13 for more information about Gateway connection conditions. For more information about
setting the "Internet Gateway Connectivity" support features, see "Configure / Edit Network Settings on page 21 and
WI2085.
Gateway Configuration > Gateways > Select Network Adapter
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Gateways > Select Network Adapter. This feature may also be accessed
from the DL-Windows "Main Screen", click Tools > Select Network Adapter. Note: If only one network adapter is de-
tected, these options will be unavailable.
The Network Adapter Selection screen allows you to identify and select the "network interface card" (NIC) you are using
inside your computer to communicate with the Gateway devices in your system. Some computers have the network adapt-
er built into the motherboard, thus precluding the need to make a selection (network adapter is automatically detected).
Other computers may use external network adapters (i.e. a USB network adapter). When both are a present, the Network
Adapter Selection screen may automatically appear when opening the Gateway Configuration screen, thus requir-
ing the selection of the desired network adapter. Remember, the router or corporate Ethernet network is connected to an
Ethernet adapter with an Ethernet cable (RJ-45 plug).
Network Adapter Selection
Click the pull-down menu to select the network card used by
the computer.
Click OK to save the selection or Cancel to exit without
saving. Note: Clicking OK in this screen saves the selection
only for the duration of the current DL-Windows session.
Quitting and restarting DL-Windows may require re-opening
this screen and re-selecting the network adapter. Note: If
the network adapter settings change when the DL-Windows
program is running, DL-Windows may require you to close
and re-open the program.
