If you desire to connect with any module on the network, NUSS allows you to do that through its 
UDP/IP protocol commands (see Chapter 3).   
 

 

 
 
All of this can become an invaluable source of information for troubleshooting your modules(s).  
See Chapter 5, Section 5.2 regarding updating the module firmware. 
 
6.1.3.4    

Verifying Host TCP/IP Communications 

 
At this point, the NetScanner

 System module should be configured to obtain its IP address 

through either Static or Dynamic IP assignment.  The module’s IP address must be assigned 
and known in order to proceed.  The host computer has also been configured for TCP/IP 
protocol and assigned an IP address compatible with the NetScanner

 System IP address.  A 

simple method to verify proper operation is through the  ping utility.  This is a simple TCP/IP 
utility that is found in Windows

®

 -based operating systems as well as most other TCP/IP 

packages.  The ping utility simply sends a test packet to the specified IP address and waits for 
reply to be returned.  The NetScanner

 System Ethernet modules are programmed to reply to 

these ping requests.  
 
To run the ping utility from Windows

®

, follow these steps.  Left click the Windows START 

button. Move the mouse pointer to 'RUN' and left click on it.  At the prompt, type ‘ping 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP address of the device to test. The IP 
address of an Ethernet NetScanner

 System module should be used.  A small DOS window 

will appear as the ping application executes.  The ping program will report either a reply was 
received or it failed to receive a reply. If the ping application reported receiving a reply, the host
