Pinging to determine Extron IP address

The Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet interface between the computer and the Fiber Matrix 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		. The
		Enter
	computer returns a display similar to as shown below.

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

C:\>ping 192.168.254.254

Pinging 192.168.254.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.254.254: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Ping statistics for 192.168.254.254:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

Pinging to determine Web IP address

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 computer’s return display is similar to the Ping response shown in the figure above, 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.

The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the DOS prompt. Telnet allows you to input SIS commands to the Fiber Matrix switcher from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN.

Access the DOS prompt and start Telnet as follows:

1.	On the Windows task bar, click on Start > Run.
2.	At the Open prompt, type command.
3.	Click the OK button.
