Ping to determine web IP address
The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the web address
rather than the numeric IP address.
At the prompt, enter ping -a IP address. The display that the computer returns is similar
to the Ping response shown in figure 47 on the previous page, except that when you
specify the -a modifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the web IP address instead of
the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or
an alias name.
Connecting as a Telnet Client
The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the command prompt. Telnet allows you to input
SIS commands to the WindoWall Pro from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN.

1. From the Start menu, select Run.... The Run dialog box opens.
2. In the Open text field, enter command.
3. Click OK. A command screen opens.

Operating using Telnet
This guide does not detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet. However, some
basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the WindoWall Pro via Telnet.
Connecting to the WindoWall Pro (Open command)
You connect to the WindoWall Pro using the Open command. After your computer is
connected to the processor, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you
were using the RS-232 or RS-422 link.
Connect to the WindoWall Pro as follows:
1. At the Telnet prompt, enter open IP address.
• If the WindoWall Pro is not password-protected, no further prompts are
displayed until you disconnect from the WindoWall Pro.
• If the WindoWall Pro is password-protected, Telnet displays the password
prompt.
