A.4 Test Your Network Interface
Going back to the terminal you opened in the last step, type in ‘ping aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd’ where
‘aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd’ in the IP address of the SMD17E2. The computer will ping the unit and the message
“Reply from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128” should appear four times.
If the message “Request timed out.” or “Destination host unreachable” appears, then one of four things has
occurred:
 You set a new IP address, but have not yet cycled power to the SMD17E2
 You did not enter the correct address in the ping command.
 The IP address of the SMD17E2 is not set correctly.
 The SMD17E2 and the computer are not on the same subnet.
