press , where <ipaddress> is the Avidia management card IP address (format
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
ping <ipaddress>

not successful, an error message displays, indicating that the request has timed out. If the
ping fails, make sure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Avidia
system, and that you typed the correct IP address. Then try another ping.
