3. In the Ping Window, select the
Ping the Interface
option.
4. Type le0 in the text box, then click
Ping
. Make sure to enter a zero not an O. All
Profile systems are asked to respond.
Wait for ping results.
5. Check the Ping Results window, then do one of the following:
a. If only the local system responded, there is a problem with the video Ethernet
network connectivity. Verify the video Ethernet connections for all systems,
then review all configuration steps under “Setting up a simple video network:
Ethernet” on page 218. Repeat step 4. If there is still a problem, refer to the
Profile XP Service Manual.
b. If all systems responded, but a Profile system name is missing or incorrect, there
is an error in the HOSTS file. Refer to “Manually Edit the hosts file on each
Profile XP” on page 220.
NOTE: You can use the “Ping the Site” option to ping a specific Profile system
using it’s IP address or name, for example Profile_le0. Pinging by name requires
the HOSTS file to be correct. Pinging the IP address does not require the HOSTS
file.
