PINGing Your IP Address

By sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply, the PING utility can

determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It also provides a particularly useful

method for confirming addressing conflicts with your AXIS 2130/2130R on the network.

Having disconnected your AXIS 2130/2130R, follow the instructions below in association

with Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions, on page 27, and run the PING

utility to troubleshoot TCP/IP problems on your network:

1. Start a Command window and type

ping x.x.x.x

, where

x.x.x.x

is the IP address of

the AXIS 2130/2130R.

2. If you receive the reply

destination host unreachable,

then the AXIS 2130/2130R

is not accessible on your subnet. You must obtain a new IP address and reinstall the

unit.

3. If this does not solve the problem, disconnect the AXIS 2130/2130R from the network

and run PING again. See the table below for an interpretation of the results.
