Testing the Ethernet Interface

After configuring the Ethernet interface, return to the main menu using the <ESC> key as many times as is
necessary. Save the configuration to flash memory (the operating system will ask how to save the configuration
on the way back to the main menu). The simplest way to test the link is by using the ping application. From the
main menu, choose APPLICATIONS =>PING. Enter the IP number of a host on the network for the

HOST

parameter and accept the preset values for the rest of the parameters. The output on the screen should appear
as shown below.

Host [host00] : 200.246.93.37
packet size (number from 32 to 1600) [32] :
count (0 if forever or 1 to 30000) [5] :
interval in ms (20 to 60000) [1000] :

Pinging the router from a host on the network should give similar results. If the test fails, confirm that the link
LED is lit and that the

IP Address

and

Subnet Mask

parameters in the Network Protocol menu are correct for the

network to which the router is attached. The command CONFIG =>INTERFACE =>ETHERNET =>L will display the
