Digi MIL-4511H manual Verifying the IP Address is Set Properly, Ping hostname, Alpha is alive

Install Guide

If the BOOTP process is successful, the SYS LED flashes five times per second until the MIL-4511H resolves its IP address. It flashes once per second after address resolution.

Note: The IP address in this case is stored in RAM. When the MIL-4511H is powered off, the address will be lost and when the unit is powered on, the MIL-4511H will RARP again.

Verifying the IP Address is Set Properly

To see if the 4511H is up and responding on the network, use the ping command:

ping <hostname>

It should respond with a message that the host is alive. For example, if the MIL-

4511H alpha is responding on the network, the response from ping will be:

alpha is alive

If there is a problem resolving the MIL-4511H name, try using ping with the IP address for the MIL-4511H:

ping <ip-address>

Model: MIL-4511H 11
