    Tari,

        'Ping' is a command you execute from the command line in windows. 'Ping'
    is used to check to see if a machine is connected to the network. Therefore
    if the IP address if the machine you are checking (in this case the AVTS
    unit) is 192.168.1.2 you enter 'ping 192.168.1.2'. This is really an
    advanced networking command so if you do not know how to use it that is
    okay.

    Tab
