Ping
Note
The Ping option only works in single-ended
mode. If you want to ping and are in inline
mode you will see
. Disconnect one of
the RJ-45 cables from the NetTool and then
rerun AutoTest.
In order to use all of the functions of the Ping
option, make sure you install the NetTool
Toolkit software on your PC so NetTool can
communicate with your PC via the serial
connection.
IP Setup
Currently, by default “out-of-the-box,” NetTool
uses DHCP to configure itself. If you have DHCP
on your network, there is no need to further
configure NetTool.
Choose Manual or DHCP IP configuration by
selecting the IP Setup icon
(wrench) and
aceessing the IP Setup screen. You can also do
this using NetTool’s Setup function (see page X).
If you select Manual then go back to DHCP, the IP
address is acquired after you select that option
and any subsequent time you access the IP Setup
screen. NetTool uses DHCP protocol to acquire
an IP address then uses the address according to
DHCP rules.
