5.4.4 Network Connection
When connecting the 6253 to a network, verify the necessary information with the network manager.
If an invalid address is specified for the network, both the network and the 6253 may operate unexpectedly.
NOTE: When the computer and the 6253 exist on different networks (not on the same subnet),
it is necessary to set the gateway correctly.
Verify the physical connection between the 6253 and the computer according to the following procedure:
1. Set the network connection correctly without connecting cables, and turn OFF the 6253.
2. Connect the cables with the power OFF. Connect the 6253 to the computer or the network terminal
such as hub by using the cables.
3. Turn ON the 6253.
5.4.5 IP Connection Check
The “ping” command is used to verify connections on IP networks from computers. This command sends
IP packets to network devices and receives responses from them to confirm the IP network normality.
The “ping” command is available on Windows or under UNIX. In case of Windows, enter as follows from
the command prompt.
C:¥>ping 192.168.0.1 (*)
(*) The argument following “ping” indicates a network device to be verified. Here, input the IP address
assigned to the 6253. “192.168.0.1” is just an example. Replace this argument according to the
operating environment in actual cases.
