Configuring the Matrix
4.5 Testing Ethernet Communication
The matrix’s ability to communicate should be tested once it has been
configured and connected to an Ethernet network.
Connection thru a network:
Assuming the matrix’s default IP address setting has not been changed from
obtaining the IP address dynamically, take note of its IP address during the
boot-up process (or se section 5.2.4 to read its IP address). Assuming the
connection has been made with a personal computer connected to the same
network and running some version of Microsoft Windows©, select
Start>Run
and type
Ping nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the matrix IP address previously noted.
Connection to a standalone PC:
If the matrix is connected directly to a standalone PC (rather than a network),
set the IP address of the matrix so that the first 3 numbers match the PC’s IP
address. The last number must be different.
Example: PC IP address: 200.169.200.180
Matrix IP address: 200.169.200.181
Assuming the connection has been made with a personal computer running
some version of Microsoft Windows©, select
Start>Run
and type
Ping nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the matrix IP address. In this example
200.169.200.181
