Since the interface settings are sometimes rather complex, checking if a specific setting works may become a rather tedious task. In order to check specific connections, the camera provides several tests in the Test Current Network Configuration dialog.
This dialog offers individual tests for the connections that have been configured so far. These tests comprise:
Routing: Checks the network connection to the gateways (using ping commands).
Network Services: Checks the network connection to the specified DNS servers and tries to resolve a symbolic name.
Image Transfer: Lists all email and FTP profiles that have been configured; you can test them one by one and analyze the results.
IP Notify: Lists all IP Notify profiles that have been configured; you can test them one by one and analyze the results.
Miscellaneous: enter a computer name or IP address to test if it can be reached (using the ping command).
You should run all tests one by one starting from the top and carefully analyze the test results. While the test are running, the test output is displayed in the small popup window. The test result is displayed in the dialog itself.
If a test detects an error or fails completely, a message in red will alert you. Check the corresponding settings if this happens.
Make sure that the camera has been rebooted after you have changed the configuration before running the tests.
When using ping commands, firewalls or other network devices may block these IP packets. Ask your network administrator if you suspect this
to be the case.
