Pinging your DFE-680TXD Card

Follow these steps to Ping a device:

Ping is the acronym for Packet Internet Groper (PING), a utility to determine if a specific

IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting

for a reply. Ping is primarily used to troubleshoot Internet connections. By sending out a

ping, you are verifying that a specific computer is available. Since all computers on the

network must have a unique IP address, getting a reply means that a computer is on the

network and that can communicate. If you cannot ping another computer, then there is

probably a problem with the hardware. Check the cabling and adapter installation. If you

are unable to network, even when you receive a reply to your ping, it is probably a

software configuration issue. Verify that all the settings are correct.

1. Start MS-DOS Prompt.

2. Type in following: ping:xxx.xxx.xx.xx, where xxx.xxx.xx.xx is the IP address to

be pinged (i.e. 192.152.81.85). In this case, computer A is pinging is own IP

address.
