Verify Connectivity:

To verify that your network settings have been configured correctly, test the connection between your

computer and the device.

 Open a command prompt window. In Windows 7 or 10, open the “Start” menu and type

“cmd” and then hit “Enter”. On Mac, open “Launchpad” and select the “Other” folder and then

select “Terminal”.

 Ping your device in the command prompt. Type “ping 192.168.0.64”. If configured correctly,

the command prompt will reply with the number of packets sent equal to the number of packets

received. Otherwise, the command prompt will indicate errors with each round of bytes sent.

 If an error occurs, recheck your network configuration settings and ensure they match the

previous diagram.
