3.5 Testing your Network configuration

Now you have set-up your network, it is strongly recommended to make
sure it is working. To do this you need to “ping” (Packet InterNet Groper)
the 640H from your PC. Ping is the most basic form of communication
between two devices, as it is just a confirmation tool that the link is
working correctly.

Ping a 640H from a Windows PC

1. If Windows is set to the “Vista” theme, press the windows icon in the

bottom left hand corner of your screen, and click on “All Programs”:

If Windows is set to the “Classic” theme, skip to instruction 4 below.

2. Single left click on “Accessories”:

3. Select “Command Prompt”:

4. If Windows is set to “Classic” view, select the “Start” button.

5. Click on “Programs”.

6. Select the “Accessories” menu and click on “Command Prompt”:

7. This will then bring up a black command prompt window.

8. In the command prompt, type “ping IP address” followed by the

“Enter” key, where “IP address” is the IP address of the 640H (see
above under “Setting up the IP address for the 640H” to find out the
IP address of your 640H).

9. When the “Enter” key has been pressed one of three messages could

appear:

a. “Destination Host Unreachable”.

b. “Request Time Out”.

c. “Reply from (IP address here): bytes=32, time(time in ms)

TTL=64”

10. If you get one of the first two messages, please check your leads

and computer set-up by going through the procedures listed above
again. If you see the third message then the network has been set-
up correctly. Type “exit” in the command prompt and press the
“Enter” key. This will close the command prompt.
