Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an
IP address in the same network as the Barricade, use the “Ping” command
to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Barricade. The
following example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an
MS-DOS window. First, execute the “Ping” command:
ping 192.168.2.1
If a message similar to the following appears:
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the Barricade has been
successfully established.
If you get the following message,
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
there may be something wrong in your installation procedure. Check the
following items in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Barricade and
the computer?
The LAN LED on the Barricade and the Link LED of the network
card on your computer must be on.
2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?
If the IP address of the Barricade is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of
your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254 and the default
gateway must be 192.168.2.1.
If you can successfully Ping the Barricade you are now ready to connect to
the Internet!
