B. PING Your IP Address

The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It can also provide a very useful tool to confirm if the IP address conflicts with the camera over the network.

Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING command. However, you must disconnect the camera from the network first.

Start a DOS window.

Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the camera.

The succeeding replies as illustrated below will provide useful explanation to the cause of the problem with the camera IP address.
