‘Ping’ Utility
Response Messages
When you run the Ping utility, it will display a series of
response messages, which you can use to determine the state of
the communications link.
For example, if you have ‘pinged’ a VN Processor with
the address 208.132.180.48, you should get a message
similar to the following:
Reply from 208.132.180.48: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=32
This is the correct response which indicates that the
device at the specified address is communicating
correctly. Note that the response ‘time’ value may vary
according to network traffic.
If you get the message...
Request timed out.
...this indicates that there has been no response from the
specified address. Either the processor is not
receiving data from the computer or not sending data
back. Check that the VN Processor is powered-up and set
to the same address that you ‘pinged’. Also, check that
you are using the correct type of connecting cables (
i.e.
straight through or crossover – see pages 6 & 7) and that
they are not damaged or faulty.
If you get the message...
Reply from 208.132.180.48: Destination host unreachable.
this indicates that the IP Address of the computer is not
in the same ‘class’ as that of the VN Processor. See
‘Appendix A – IP Addressing’ for further advice.
