Ping

Note

The Ping option only works in single-ended mode. If you want to ping and are in inline

mode you will see. Disconnect one of the RJ-45 cables from the NetTool and then rerun AutoTest.

In order to use all of the functions of the Ping option, make sure you install the NetTool Toolkit software on your PC so NetTool can communicate with your PC via the serial connection.

IP Setup

⇒Currently, by default “out-of-the-box,” NetTool uses DHCP to configure itself. If you have DHCP on your network, there is no need to further configure NetTool.

⇒Choose Manual or DHCP IP configuration by

selecting the IP Setup icon (wrench) and aceessing the IP Setup screen. You can also do this using NetTool’s Setup function (see page X).

⇒If you select Manual then go back to DHCP, the IP address is acquired after you select that option and any subsequent time you access the IP Setup screen. NetTool uses DHCP protocol to acquire an IP address then uses the address according to DHCP rules.
