Verifying communication with the RNI
Use the ping command to verify that the RNI is responding:
1. At the AMS Device Manager PC, open a command prompt (Start > All Programs
> Accessories > Command Prompt).
2. At the command prompt, type PING <RNI DNS Name>. (If your network does
not support DNS, replace the DNS name with the IP address of your RNI in the
ping command.)
3. Press ENTER.
4. Verify that the RNI responds to the ping command. The ping command should
return a reply message.
5. If the ping command fails, verify that you typed the correct address in the
command line. Also verify that your network is functioning properly.
