IP Address Check with
Ping
By sending a data packet to a specific IP address and waiting for a reply,
Ping can determine whether that IP address is accessible. Ping can also
help you to determine IP address conflicts with your AXIS 5900 and
troubleshoot TCP/IP problems on the network. Follow the instructions
below to diagnose your problem.
Windows: Open a Command Prompt and enter the following commands:
The host will return reply from 192.168.3.191 , or a similar message. This
indicates that the address has been set and that communication is
established
UNIX/Linux and
Mac OS X
Open a Terminal and enter the following commands:
The host will return psname is alive , or a similar message. This indicates that
the address has been set and that communication is established.
Replies: Subsequent replies will provide an explanation of the cause of the problem.
Replies from DOS can be interpreted as defined in the table below (for
UNIX/Linux replies please refer to the UNIX/Linux chapter of this manual):
SNMP Device Index If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, check that the SNMP Device Index is
correct. See “SNMP Device Index” on page 147.
