Testing the Ethernet Video network
Use this procedure to test your video network setup. Tests are included for the
Windows NT Ethernet and video Ethernet networks.
Testing the Windows NT Ethernet name resolution and connectivity
The video Ethernet video network relies on Windows NT Ethernet connectivity and
name resolution.This procedure uses the ping command which requests a response
from the named Profile XP system. If the remote system does not respond, you’ll try
ping using the IP address of the remote system. If the system responds, you have a
name resolution problem. If there is no response, refer to the Profile XP Service
Manual for help with solving problems with the Windows NT Ethernet adapter or
cabling.
To test the Windows NT Ethernet network:
1. Open the Windows NT command prompt by selecting Start | Programs | Command
Prompt .
2. Type ping, then the Windows NT Ethernet name of one of the Profile XP systems
on the network, then press Enter . For Example:
ping Profile1
If this command returns:
Pinging Profile1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.99.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.99.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.99.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.99.100: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
You have successfully resolved the name Profile1 and you have Windows NT
Ethernet network connectivity.
If, however, the ping command returns:
Pinging Profile1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
There is a connectivity problem or the Windows NT Ethernet IP address could not
resolve properly. Continue with step 3.
