Figure 4-2 Example Configuration 1 - Adding the NEC SL2100 Chassis to the Network
SECTION 4 TESTING THE NEC SL2100 NETWORK CONNECTION
To test the NEC SL2100 network connection, it is possible to use the ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocol) Ping command. This basically sends a small amount of data from one device to another and
then waits for a reply. This test confirms that the IP addressing and physical connection are good. To
perform this test, from a Windows PC:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run... .
3. In the Open dialogue box, enter command.
4. Click OK. A Command prompt window opens.
5. Type ping 192.168.1.200.
Figure 4-3 Testing the Network Connection on page 4-5 shows that the NEC SL2100 system has
replied to the Ping request – this indicates that the NEC SL2100 system is correctly connected to the
network.
