selected as the primary interface, you should be able to verify the network connection
to the unit by using the Ping command from your host workstation.
To do so on a Windows based PC, open a Command Prompt window and type PING
and the dot delimited IP address of the RCP2, then press the Enter key. If the unit is
successfully found on the network, the request statistic will be displayed.
PING XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
If the unit does not answer on the ping command, check all hardware connections and
verify that the IP settings on your host workstation and the RCP2 match your network
parameters. On a Windows-based PC you may also check ARP table entries. The new
IP address of the RCP2 may be set to another PC or network equipment with a
different MAC address. Open a Command Prompt window and type "ARP -a”, the
press Enter. The current table will be displayed. If you see the RCP2 IP address entry
in the table, delete it by issuing the command "ARP -d XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX” and press
Enter (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of the RCP2 unit). Now try the PING
command again. More information about how to set up a network connection with the
RCP2 can be found in Appendix A.
7.6.3 Using the RCP2 Web Interface
With the Ethernet Interface activated as described in Section 7.6.2.2 and an IP
Address assigned to the unit, launch a Java- (version 1.5 or higher) and Javascript-
enabled web browser. Teledyne Paradise Datacom recommends Internet Explorer
version 7).
Enter the RCP2 IP address into the Address Bar of your web browser, and the
interface screen will load in the browser window, as shown in Figure 7-15.
