Testing Ethernet Network Cables

CS4000 Mini Controller with Ethernet

2.Enter ping followed by the IP address of the computer or controller on the Ethernet network that you want to test.

NOTE: The IP address of the Ethernet interface card is the same as the IP address of the computer or controller to which it is attached.

For example, if the IP address of another controller in the Ethernet network is ’10.1.100.177’ then you would enter ‘ping 10.1.100.177.’ It looks like this:

c:\> ping 10.1.100.177

If ping is successful, you see a message returned in the command prompt window similar to:

Pinging 10.1.100.177 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 10.1.100.177: bytes=32 time=10ms TTL=255

c:\>

If ping is unsuccessful, you see a message returned in the command prompt window similar to:

Pinging 10.1.100.177 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

c:\>

3.Repeat Step 2 for every IP address you want to test.

4.When you are finished testing the network, exit the command prompt window.

a.At the C:\ prompt, enter exit.

The command prompt window closes and returns you to the Windows desktop.

When the ping command is successfully applied to the IP addresses you are testing, you know that the physical network connections are working correctly. If you still have a network problem, it is likely to be the result of a software malfunction.

NOTE: As well as the ping command described in Procedure 5-5,there are a number of other commands available, such as ipconfig and tcm. These commands can also be used to diagnose problems with an Ethernet network. Consult a GSE tech-motive tool engineer for details.

It is important to test Ethernet cables, whether you make them yourself or use ready-made cables. By doing this, you make sure that they are in working order. It is recommended that you test cables using a Remote Network Cable Tester that you can obtain from a computer networking retailer of your choice.
