5. Is the subject workstation physically connected to the network?
6. Check that the workstation and browser have been properly
configured.
a. Can the frame be opened from a different workstation?
b. Has the workstation been assigned a proper IP Address?
c. Has the workstation been assigned a Gateway Address?
d. Is the browser configured to connect to the correct port?
Is it attempting to connect through a modem when it should be con-
necting through a network interface module?
Some laptops have two separate network ports, one for stand-alone
operation, and the other for operation with a docking station. Is the
correct port being used?
7. Check that network traffic can be routed between the workstation and
the frame.
a. If the workstation supports a network ping, ping the frame. For
example, using Windows NT:
Open a command prompt (DOS window)
In the DOS window, enter:
C:\> PING [frame’s ip address]
The results will indicate if the ping reached the frame.
b. If the workstation does not support a network ping, ping the
workstation from the frame serial interface:
In the frame serial command window, enter:
->PING [workstation’s IP address]
The workstation’s IP address must be inside the double quotes. The
results will indicate if the ping reached the workstation.
c. If the network ping failed, there may be a network problem
between the frame and the workstation. To ensure it is not the
frame, check the frame with a point-to-point connection:
Using a crossover Ethernet cable, connect the frame directly to a
workstation. The workstation should be assigned an IP Address on
the same Subnet as the frame. Attempt to load the frame’s web page
from a Browser on this workstation.
