PINGing Your IP Address
By sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply, the PING utility can
determine whether a specific IP-address is accessible. It also provides a particularly useful
method for confirming addressing conflicts with your AXIS 2100 on the network.
Follow the instructions below in association with Problems, Possible Causes and Remedial
Actions, on page 51, and run the PING utility to troubleshoot TCP/IP problems on your
network:
1. Disconnect your AXIS 2100 from the network.
2. Start a DOS window.
3. Type
ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the AXIS 2100.
The subsequent replies as shown in the table below will provide an explanation as to the
cause of the problem:
