Configuring Client TCP/IP
Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Wireless Barricade™, use the Ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Wireless Barricade™. The following example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an
ping 192.168.2.1
If a message similar to the following appears:
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the Wireless Barricade™ has been successfully established.
If you get the following message,
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.
there may be something wrong in your installation procedure. Check the following items in sequence:
1.Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Wireless Barricade™ and the computer?
The LAN LED on the Wireless Barricade™ and
the Link LED of the network card on your computer must be on.
2.Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?
If the IP address of the Wireless Barricade™ is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.
If you can successfully Ping the Wireless Barricade™ you are now ready to connect to the Internet!
