Verify the communication and connection by issuing a "ping" command to the modem. You can find the IP address of the modem either remotely using the <0/IPA? command or from the front panel with the <Config> <Remote> <Remote> <Ethernet> menus.

To PING and FTP from DOS, press the “Start” button on the Windows toolbar, and select the “Run...” option.

From Win95 or Win98, type “command”.

From WinNT, Win2K or WinXP, type “cmd”.

You can also use the “DOS Prompt” or “Command Prompt” icons in the Start Menu.
