Perform Steps Below in the Order Listed
1. Ascertain the ATLAS 550 IP address.
If you do not already have the IP Address for the ATLAS 550, either obtain it from the network
administrator or manually check for the address in the SYSTEM CONFIG/ETHERNET PORT/IP
ADDRESS menu of the Network Management interface.
2. Ping the ATLAS 550 unit from a remote computer on the network.
Using a remote computer system connected to the LAN, perform an ICMP Ping on the IP Address of
the ATLAS 550. Verify that the unit responds properly.
If the ATLAS 550 fails to respond, try the following:
• Verify that the proper IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are provisioned in the unit
(see DLP-003 for details).
• Verify that the ATLAS 550 is properly cabled into the LAN and that the Ethernet cable is properly
seated in the RJ-45 jack on the rear of the unit.
• If the ATLAS 550 is connected to a hub or other network device th at provides a carrier sense light
for each port, verify that the carrier sense light for the port to which the ATLAS 550 is connected
is lit. If this light is not lit, check the cabling between the hub and the shelf. The connection may
also be verified using the ETHERNET LED located on the front panel of the ATLAS 550.
• Verify the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway on the remote computer system.
If none of these steps are successful, contact the LAN Administrator for assistance.
You must login with maximum rights to modify the IP parameters on the ATLAS 550.
Refer to the documentation of the computer system if you are unsure how to perform a Ping
command. Most computers running a networked version of Microsoft Windows™ or UNIX
allow a Ping to be performed by typing ping <IP Address> at a command line prompt.
Typically, the Ping program will respond by indicating that the remote IP Address has
responded in a certain amount of time or that no response was received.
Some versions of Ping will continue running until you explicitly tell them to stop. If the
program does not terminate on its own, type <CTRL+C> to get the program to stop.
