PING Your IP Address

The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine whether a
specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address
and waiting for a reply. It can also provide a very useful tool to confirm if the
IP address conflicts with DCS-1000 over the network.

Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING command but
first you must disconnect DCS-1000 from the network.

Start a DOS window.
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the DCS-1000.

The succeeding replies as illustrated below will provide useful explanation to
the cause of the problem with DCS-1000 IP address.
