Check IP Address (Ping)
Use ping to check if the iPocket232 is correctly configured on the network. If you
cannot reach the iPocket232 using Ping, the iPocket232 is either incorrectly
configured or there is a network problem. To “ping” the iPocket232:
1 Open the MS-DOS Prompt. (Usually found under Start>Programs)
2 At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt type ping and the IP address you want to
check.
- If you get Reply messages, the iPocket232 has a valid connection to the
network.
- If you get a Request timed out message, the iPocket232 is incorrectly
configured with the IP address, or you have a network connection problem.

: You can also use ping to check if an IP address is already in use on your
network, before assigning it to a new unit.
