CONFIRMING VIA!dj NETWORK CONNECTION

If you are experiencing problems with the network connection to the VIA!dj, there is a useful
command that can be entered from a PC to confirm whether or not the unit is communicating on
the network.
That command is called PING, and it can be typed in a DOS shell or a command prompt. Once
you know the IP address of the VIA!dj (this can be determined from the Ethernet Settings menu),
just type the following command at a DOS prompt:
PING X.X.X.X where X.X.X.X is the IP Address of the VIA!dj you are troubleshooting.
Below is an example of a successful PING response from a properly connected VIA!dj:
Successful PING to IP Address 192.168.1.105
