Configuring Client TCP/IP

Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Wireless Barricade™, use the Ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Wireless Barricade™. 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 Barricade™ 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 Barricade™ and the computer?

The LAN LED on the Wireless Barricade™ 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 Barricade™ 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 Barricade™ you are now ready to connect to the Internet!
