Troubleshooting AXIS 230 42
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 useful method for
confirming addressing conflicts with your AXIS 230 on the network.
Follow the instructions below to ping your unit:
1. Start a Command window and type
ping x.x.x.x
, where
x.x.x.x
is the IP address of
the AXIS 230.
2. If you receive the reply
destination host unreachable,
then the AXIS 230 is not
accessible on your subnet. You must obtain a new IP address and reinstall the unit.
If this does not solve the problem, disconnect the AXIS 230 from the network and run Ping
again. See the table below for an interpretation of the results.
