EAGLE - ANNEX A.1 IP CONNECTIONS

ANNEX A.1. IP Connections

• To know the name of a computer inside a LAN network:

From windows desktop, click with mouse right button in NETWORK NEIGBOURHOOD icon

and choose the Properties option. Computer name can be found in the Identification tab.

Another possibility is to execute the ‘s et comput ern ame’ command from the MSDOS

command interface.

In this example, the name of our computer is OFTECNICA05.

• To know the IP address of a computer:

Execute the ‘i pco nfig’ command from the MSDOS command interface.

In this example, IP address is 192.50.11.5

• To test IP communication status:

The ‘ping’ command is used to know if a remote equipment can be reached via IP, indicating

the name or IP address of the remote equipment. This command sends a contact message. If

remote equipment is reached, it will reply and response time will be shown:

In this case, 4 messages have been sent and replied in less than 10 milliseconds to a computer

named ‘OFTECNICA09’ which IP address is the 192.50.11.5

NOTE: Response time depends on many facts. IP distance between them and network traffic are the most

important ones. Therefore, in a remote connection over the INTERNET, response time will be higher than the

one in a LAN connection.

In case that response time is very high or there is no response, contact your systems

administrator to check the network connection
