Testing the network connection
You can use the ping command to check the connection between two IP addresses. This allows you to test whether a unit in the network is active.
–Open the DOS command prompt.
–Type ping followed by the IP address of the unit.
If the unit is found, the response appears as Reply from ... followed by the number of bytes sent and the transmission time in milliseconds. If not, the unit cannot be accessed over the network. This might be because:
❚The unit is not properly connected to the network. Check the cable connec- tions in this case.
❚The unit is not correctly integrated into the network. Check the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.
Unit reset
You can use the Factory Reset button to restore the unit to its original settings. Any changes to the settings are overwritten by the factory defaults. A reset may be necessary, for example, if the unit has invalid settings that prevent it from functioning as desired.
Caution
All configured settings will be discarded during a reset. If necessary, back up the current configuration using the Download button on the Mainte- nance configuration page (see page 98).
Note
After a reset, the unit can only be addressed via the factory default IP ad- dress. The IP address can be changed as described in the chapter "Instal- lation" (see page 25).
–If necessary, back up the current configuration using the Download button on the Maintenance configuration page (see page 98).
