EtherProx Entry Configuring EtherProx Entry
Testing the Connection
After you set up the IP address, connect EtherProx Entry to your laptop or Local
Area Network (LAN). When you use a laptop, you will need a a CAT 5 crossover
cable. If you connect EtherProx Entry to a LAN or HUB, use a standard CAT 5
patch cable.
To verify the IP address and communications path, ping the EtherProx from a PC.
To do so, open a DOS Command Prompt window, and type ping, followed by the
IP address you had set up in the previous task. For example,
C:\>ping 172.31.10.10
If the IP address and communication path are correct, you should see a reply in
the Command Prompt window that is similar to the following example:
Pinging 172.31.10.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 172.31.10.10: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=32
Reply from 172.31.10.10: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=32
Reply from 172.31.10.10: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=32
Reply from 172.31.10.10: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=32
If the IP address or communication path is incorrect, you should see a reply in the
Command Prompt window that is similar to the following example:
Pinging 172.31.10.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Once you connect EtherProx Entry, you can set the time and date, as explained in
