6.3 How to check the Ethernet connection
The network “connection status” should indicate “connected”.
With Windows XP, the connection status is available through:
A double-click on the icon into the “task bar”
Or in the “network connections” item of the “control panel”.
The “ping” command may be used in order to check the MVX response time.
Click on Start - Run
Type cmd and click on OK : A DOS window is open
Type ping [MVX IP address] or ping [MVX serial number]
Example:
C:\>ping 192.168.103.240
