If the local IP connection cannot be established because of a configuration error or
because the configured IP address of the modem is forgotten, you can use the
Ping-of-Life procedure to restore the connection. A special ping packet delivers a
new IP address to the modem.
To restore the local connection to the modem, you must do the following:
•
Preconfigure the new IP address in the ARP cache of one of your systems.
•
Reset the modem and allow the selftest to end (takes about 30 seconds).
•
Ping the new IP address within 60 seconds after the end of the selftest.
