Checking The Lan - Epson EPL-N7000 Network Manual

Before you start, you need the following information:
❏ A valid IP address for the network interface. Ask your
network administrator for an IP address which does not cause
conflicts with any other device on the network. If you are the
network administrator, choose an address within your subnet
which does not conflict with any other device.
❏ The MAC (Ethernet hardware) address of the network
interface. You can find out the MAC address on a status sheet.

Checking the LAN

First, you need to check that the computer can reach to other
computer in the same segment, as follows:
1. Set the default gateway to the host on which you are setting
up the network interface.
If there is a server or a router which acts as a gateway, enter
the address of the server or the router. If there is no gateway,
enter the IP address of your computer as a gateway address.
2. Assume that you want to reach to the computer having the IP
address "192.168.100.101". Check that the computer is
reachable by "pinging" it from the command line:
ping 192.168.100.101
3. If the computer is reachable, you can see the following result
(the exact form of the message depends on your operating
system, and the time may vary):
64 bytes from 192:168:100:101:icmp_seq=0. Time=34.ms
4. If the computer is unreachable, you may see something like
this:
PING 192:168:100:101:56 data bytes
