2.4 Testing the Setup
To verify that connection is working correctly, use the standard
Ping utility.
(in Windows, click to menu Start−>Run, the write
command “ping IPADDRESS –t”, where IPADDRESS is IP address
of computer the USB adapter is connected to, e.g. “ping
192.168.4.1 –t”. This command will be stopped by pressing
CTRL+C).
• Ping the IP address of the computer the USB adapter is
connected to.
• Repeat the same process with the other power line
device on the network.
• If all nodes can ping themselves, try pinging another
power line device on the network. If this fails, there is a
problem with connections on the power line. Try a
different AC outlet.
• If the setup does not work, refer to the troubleshooting
guide, but first, try unplugging the powerline device and
reboot the computer as this sometimes fixes the
problem.
