prompt & you should see Reply from 192.168.0.192: bytes 32. as below to confirm communication.
7. If the ping fails with Destination Host Unreachable, check the cross over cable is plugged in and the Link
LED is lit on the IP16 ethernet socket. If the Link LED is lit then try and ping your laptop (ie Ping
192.168.0.1) If this also says Destination Host Unreachable then there is an incorrect network setting on
your laptop, firewall or other software on your laptop preventing communication. Ensure you are
configuring the correct network adaptor (see 1 above) and switch off any wireless adaptors.
8. Once the ping command has worked and communication is established, use an Internet browser
(Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 / Mozilla Firefox 3.5 or later) to view the IP16 Web Pages.
