Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol and
configuring an IP address in the same network with the Barricade,
you can use the Ping command to check if your computer is
successfully connected to the Wireless 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 the following messages appear:

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 Wireless
Barricade has been successfully established.

Otherwise, if you get the following messages,

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 Wireless

Barricade and your computer?

The LAN LED on the Wireless 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 Wireless 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.
