Testing the ATLAS for Proper Network Communication
Obtain IP Address
If you do not already have the IP Address for the ATLAS, do one of the following:
• Obtain the ATLAS IP address from your Network Administrator.
Manually check for the address in the S
•
Network Management interface.
You must login with maximum rights to modify the IP parameters on the ATLAS.
Ping the ATLAS unit from a remote computer on the network.
Refer to the computer system's documentation if you are unsure how to perform a Ping command. Most
computers running a networked version of Microsoft Windows™ or UNIX allow a Ping to be performed
by simply typing "ping <IP Address >" at a command line prompt. Typically, the Ping program will
respond by indicating that the remote IP Address has responded in a certain amount of time or that no
response was received.
Some versions of Ping will continue running until you explicitly tell them to stop. If the program does not
terminate on its own, type
1. Using a remote computer system connected to the LAN, perform an ICMP Ping on the IP Address of
the ATLAS. Verify that the unit responds properly; if the ATLAS fails to respond, try the following:
• Verify that the proper IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are provisioned in the unit
(see DLP-3,
Setting IP Parameters for the ATLAS 800 Series System,
• Verify that the ATLAS is properly cabled into the LAN and that the Ethernet cable is properly
seated in the Ethernet port (labeled E
• If the ATLAS is connected to a hub or other network device that provides a carrier sense light for
each port, verify that the carrier sense light for the port to which the ATLAS is connected is lit. If
this light is not on, check the cabling between the hub and the shelf.
• Verify the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway on the remote computer system.
2. If none of these steps are successful, contact the LAN Administrator for assistance.
