After the initialization the DS100 is set to work in the Slave Routing Mode, with the UDP/IP
communications protocol. The data exchange is to be effected with Data Port #1001.
OK, now disconnect the DS100’s power and then connect it again- the unit will resume operation with
the new functioning parameters.
Do not exit the
HyperTerminal
at this time- you will need it to exchange the data with the
WinSock
Demo
.
2.6. Testing the LAN link
Final step before we start creating the
Demo
is to make sure that your PC can “find” the
DS100/EM100SK on the network. Use
PING
program to check this:
•
Choose
Run…
from the
Start
menu of
Windows
- the
Run
dialog will open
•
Type
ping 192.168.100.40
into the
Open
textbox and press OK
•
The ping program will send four messages to the DS100/EM100SK. If there is no reply from the
DS100/EM100SK then the program output will look like this:
Pinging 192.168.100.40 with 32 bytes of data
Request timed out.

Request timed out.

If the DS100/EM100SK does reply to your PC’s “pinging” then the output from the ping program will
look somewhat like this:
Pinging 192.168.100.40 with 32 bytes of data
