Setting TCP/IP to Work with the CheetahAccess™ Wireless Gateway
Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol and configuring an IP address in the same network with the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway, you can use the “Ping” command to check if your computer is successfully connected to the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway. The following example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an
ping 192.168.2.1
If the following messages appear:
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 CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway has been successfully established.
Otherwise, if you get the following messages,
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 CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway and your computer?
The LAN LED on the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway 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 CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway 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 CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway, then you are now ready to connect to the Internet!
