Q & A , BASIC ETHERNET TROUBLESHOOTING

Questions and Answers:

What if I don’t have a DHCP service running?

You have to reserve and configure a (unique) address for every single SG-

20 Discovery.

How many Discoveries can I include?

Just as many IP addresses there are available.

What happens if I give two terminals the same address or the same address of

another device?

Both devices will respond to requests/commands simultaneously and

therefore will not operate properly.

How can I check if the IP address which I have chosen for the SG-20 terminal is

free?

Link the Discovery to the network and PING the device in a DOS box,

C:\> ping 192.137.81.210

a

Typical Response if there already was a device on that IP address
