Configuring Ethernet Network Communications; Pinging Tcp/Ip Ethernet Interfaces On The Network; Determining If An Ip Address Is Already In Use - GE PACSystems ICRXIDIXNE19LCTA User Manual

2.3 Configuring Ethernet Network Communications

The default factory settings are
configured to obtain an IP
address automatically.
For Ethernet port and cabling
information, refer to Chapter 4
Connectors and Cabling.

For public disclosure
Before configuring the RXi Display for operation on a network, consult your network
administrator. Duplicate TCP/IP addresses and duplicate computer names on the same
network can cause network problems.
➢ ➢ To configure Ethernet communications
1. For both ports, if necessary, use the operating system's network configuration tool to
change the IP address and subnet mask from the factory settings to the correct
settings for your network. If your network's IP addresses are controlled by a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, change the setting from Use the
following IP address to Obtain an IP address automatically.
Port
Ethernet 1
Ethernet 2
2. When prompted by the operating system, restart the RXi Display.
3. Connect the RXi Display to the Ethernet network.
2.3.1 Pinging TCP/IP Ethernet Interfaces on the
Network
Most nodes on TCP/IP networks, including the PACSystems Ethernet interface,
implement a PING command. Ping each installed Ethernet device. When the Ethernet
device responds to the ping, it verifies that the device is operational and configured
properly.

2.3.2 Determining if an IP Address is Already In Use

This method does not guarantee that an IP address is not duplicated. It will not detect a
device that is configured with the same IP address if it is temporarily off the network.
Attention
➢ ➢ To determine if another node on the network is using the same IP
address
1. Disconnect your RXi Display from the LAN.
2. Ping the disconnected RXi Display IP address.
If you get an answer to the ping, the chosen IP address is already in use by another
node. Correct this situation by assigning a unique IP address.

It is very important not to duplicate IP addresses.
