Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Wireless Base Station, use the Ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Wireless Base Station.The following example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window. First, execute the Ping command:

ping 192.168.2.1

If a message similar to the following appears: Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

a communication link between your computer and the Wireless Base Station has been successfully established.

If you get the following message,

Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.

there may be something wrong in your installation procedure. Check the following items in sequence:

1.Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Wireless Base Station and the computer?

The Local Network LED on the Wireless Base Station and the Link LED of the network card on your computer must be on.

2.Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?

If the IP address of the Wireless Base Station is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.

If you can successfully Ping the Wireless Base Station you are now ready to connect to the Internet!
