6.5PING

PING is a utility program you can use to check Ethernet connections between the bridge and other IP addresses.

6.5.1Starting PING at the Bridge

PING can be run from the bridge’s command line. You can get the command line prompt by initializing the bridge without a connection to a BOOTP server.

Setup

If a keyboard and monitor are already connected to the bridge, stop the bridge by pressing Q and confirming that you want to quit the bridge application.

If a keyboard and monitor are not connected, remove power to the bridge and connect them to the bridge’s connector panel. Restore power to the bridge.

If the bridge displays its CFGUTIL menu, press Escape to close the menu. This should display the bridge’s C:\ > prompt.

Starting

To start the PING program, enter: PING <NOE_ip_address>

You should see a message indicating that the <NOE_ip_address> is reachable.

6.5.2Starting PING at the Host

PING can be run from the Ethernet host to determine if the bridge is reachable on the network.

Setup

The bridge must be running in order for it to respond. If it is not already running, connect a keyboard and monitor and initialize it as described above. Display the bridge’s C:\ > prompt.

To start the bridge enter: GATELOOP

Starting

PING the bridge from the host: PING <bridge_ip_address>

You should see a message indicating that the <bridge_ip_address> is reachable.
