The "Domain" Menu
As with the Gateway setting, this setting is required if your
VIP unit is behind a router. Enter the address of your
Domain Server here, or let it be filled in by the router if
using DHCP.
Verifying the Network Setup
Once the VIP unit's networking hardware has been installed and its
settings have been configured, your Network Administrator should
verify that the network is operating properly.
One way to verify that the VIP unit is connected to the network is to
use the Ping command. However, if you are using DHCP to assign
the VIP an IP address, then you will not need to use this method.
When you set up the VIP site in the VIP Composer, it will check the
network for you (see The "Sites" Tab, "Network" Sites on page 42).
Open an MS-DOS prompt on the PC, then type in a "ping"
command:
ping x.x.x.x
Substitute your IP address for the "x.x.x.x" shown above. For
example, if the IP address of your VIP unit is "10.1.4.52", then you
should type (do not use the address of 0.0.0.1 when using ping):
ping 10.1.4.52
If your network connection is successful, you should see results
similar to the following:
C:\Windows>ping 10.1.4.52
Pinging 10.1.4.52 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.1.4.52: bytes=32 time==11ms TTL=14
Reply from 10.1.4.52: bytes=32 time=8ms TTL=14
Reply from 10.1.4.52: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=14
Reply from 10.1.4.52: bytes=32 time=18ms TTL=14
Ping Statistics for 10.1.4.52:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss).
If a connection cannot be established between the VIP and your
networked PC, you should repeat the hardware and software setup
steps, verifying your settings. Pay particular attention to the VIP's IP
address and Subnet value. If the above test still fails, have your
Network Administrator contact MagicBox, Inc.
