Appendix B : PING IP Address
The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address
is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very useful
tool to confirm whether or not Internet camera is installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other
device over the network.
If you want to make sure the IP address of Internet camera, utilize the PING command as follows:
z
Start a DOS window.
z
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet camera.
The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.
If you want to detect any other device that conflicts with the IP address of Internet camera, you also
can utilize the PING command but you must disconnect the Internet camera from the network first.
