Sending a Ping
Use the following procedure to check the connectivity between the monitor and an
access point (AP) or EHR server.
To ping an AP or EHR server:
Releasing and Renewing the Monitor IP Address
If your network uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses and you suspect an IP address
conflict, use the Release/Renew button to release the monitor’s current IP address and
obtain a new one.
To release the monitor’s IP address and obtain a new IP address:
Step
1 Open the
Network Test menu.
Note — If the monitor is connected to a Cisco AP, the Start Ping field displays the IP
address of the AP.
2 To change the IP address or to enter a new IP address or hostname, select
the field next to
Start Ping.
A keyboard appears.
3 Enter the IP address or hostname of the AP or destination server you want
to ping.
4 Select Start Ping.
The button name changes to Stop Ping. The log indicates if the ping was
successful and displays the round-trip times for messages sent and
received from the AP or server.
5 To stop the ping, select the Stop Ping button.
Note — You cannot close the Network Test menu until you select the Stop Ping button.
Step
1 Open the Network Test menu.
2 To view the IP address currently assigned to the monitor, select the Wireless
list.
The current IP address appears in the list.
Note — The LAN IP address is displayed in the LAN IP Address field in the
System Menu on the General tab.

The log indicates that the monitor’s IP address has been released and a
new one assigned.
