Use Procedure 5-5 to test the Ethernet network from the host computer.
NOTE: There is an alternative to the method described in
Procedure 5-5. You can use the Telnet application, if it is
installed on the Windows operating system of the host
computer. Telnet establishes a connection across the Ethernet
network to the Ethernet interface card in any controller. Telnet
logs on to the network using the IP address of the controller.
Once logged in, you can use the ping command to test the
network connection, refer to Procedure 5-4 from Step 6 onward.
To find out more about using Telnet, see your System
Administrator.
