First check the connection using the ping command on the Command Prompt (menu Start →
Run, type cmd and press OK, in the Command Prompt window type ping 192.168.1.55 and
press Enter).
A usual problem of an unreachable address can occur, depending on the configuration of your
network:
In such case it is necessary to temporarily change the settings of your network, in Start → Settings
→ Control Panel → Network Connections → Local Area Connection → Properties → Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) → Properties:
Figure 5.5. Setting network IP properties
Specify the subnet mask: it typically looks like: 255.255.255.0. Such a mask means that the first
three numbers in the IP address must be identical for the whole subnetwork, and the fourth
number is arbitrary. With this mask, you must assign to the host PC an IP address beginning with
192.168.1. and an arbitrary number. In our example we use: 192.168.1.2 for the host, so it
is then on the same subnetwork with PicSight®-GigE having the default IP address 192.168.1.55.
The gateway need not be set for this temporary TCP/IP settings (leave it empty).
Note that in case you do not want to touch your existing connection to the network, you would
have to add additional Ethernet card (NIC) to your PC and configure the TCP/IP for the additional
NIC.
After applying the changes (closing the Local Area Connection dialog) Windows change the IP
address, usually without need to reboot. You can verify the change by the ipconfig command
on the Command Prompt — it lists the current IP address.
Now you should test with ping again. It should succeed:
