Pinging to determine Matrix IP Addresss

The Microsoft® Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet interface between the computer and the switcher. Ping can also be used to determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine the web address.

Ping the switcher as follows:

1.

On the Windows task bar, click on Start > Run.

2.

At the Open prompt, type command.

3.

Click the OK button.

4.

At the DOS prompt, type ping {IP address} and then press [Enter]. The

 

computer returns a display similar to figure A-2.

The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Pinging to determine Web IP addresss

The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the Web address rather than the numeric IP address.

At the DOS prompt, type ping -a{IP address} and then press [Enter]. The return display of the computer is similar to the Ping response shown in figure A-2, except that when you specify the -amodifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the web IP address rather than the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.
