If another station is connected to
the Savanna, using TCP/IP protocol, ping test should be
performed.
- Verify the station's address
(ask you system administrator)
- Type: #ping 'station address'
If the station is correctly
connected the following message appears:
'station address' is
alive.
Repeat this test for every other
station on the network.
