Step 4. TESTING THE SETUP THE SIMPLY WAY PING

Section #1 PING the CNC from the PC

The simplest way to verify that the Ethernet hardware is setup correctly is to PING the Ethernet
device. A successful PING of a device only tells you the device is out there and the hardware can be found,
it still does not guarantee a valid system. However, if you cant PING a device you definitely cannot
communicate with software to it.

To PING the CNC follow the steps below.
1. Make sure the CNC and PC IP Addresses and Subnet Masks are setup as you want them.
2. From the PC open a DOS Prompt (or Command Prompt).
3. In the DOS window type Ping x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP Address of the desired
Ethernet device.

If you are using this document for validation testing were you have your PC connected
directly to the CNC enter the following values.
1. Enter Ping 192.168.0.1

4. If you see a reply like the one pictured here then the hardware is setup correctly.


5. If you see a reply like the one pictured here then the hardware is NOT setup correctly. Please
verify the setup as discussed in these documents. Especially the Subnet Mask.

12
Section #2 PING the PC from the CNC Fast Ethernet ONLY
