Testing Connectivity
Physical Link
Verify the physical connection on the Ethernet link by examining the green and yellow LEDs on the RJ-45 connector. They should be
illuminated and/or blinking. If not, verify the cable is properly seated and all equipment is powered on.
Note:
The yellow LED will not illuminate when connected to 10 MBit equipment.
Ping Utility
Once the FAAST detector is connected to an Ethernet link, the next step is to verify IP connectivity between the device and your PC.
This is accomplished using the ping utility.
1. From the Start menu choose Run…
2. Type “cmd” in the text box and click OK.
3. In the command window type “ping 192.168.1.10” (the IP address of the FAAST detector) and press Enter. The utility on the
PC will attempt to contact the detector at this IP address. If you have configured the detector to use a different IP address,
substitute as appropriate.
