Ping to determine Extron IP address
The ping utility is available at the command (Cmd) prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet
interface between the computer and the Annotator. Ping can also be used to determine
the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the web address.
Ping the device as follows:
1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run... . The Run window opens.
2. In the Open text field, enter command.
3. Click OK . A DOS command window opens.
4. At the DOS prompt, enter ping IP address (for example, 10.13.197.37) . The
computer returns a display similar to the figure below.
The line
Pinging .. . reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of whether you
entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Ping to determine web IP address
The ping utility has a modifier, -a , that directs the command to return the web
address rather than the numeric IP address.
At the DOS prompt, enter
ping -a IP address. The computer’s return display is
similar to the ping response shown in figure above, except that when you specify
the -a modifier, the line
Pinging mail... reports the web IP address instead of the
numeric
IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias
name.

commands to the Annotator from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN.
Access the prompt and start Telnet as follows:
