A.2 Checking Connection
There are several ways to check if the connection exists between the iSignager Frame
Series and PC.
A.2.1 Check the LED
Check the LEDs on the top of the LAN port in the bottom panel of the iSignager Frame
Series. The green LED on the right side indicates LAN or Wifi is linked on the port. The
orange LED on the left side indicates transmission activity.
A.2.2 Ping in DOS Environment or Hyper Terminal Session
A.2.2.1 PC
To check if the specific IP connection exists in the server side, check in DOS environment
of the server. In DOS environment, type “ping” followed by the LAN IP or WLAN IP, e,g.
ping 10.10.12.82. Press Enter. If the reply message is shown, the connection exists, e.g.
Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.10.12.82: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
A.2.2.2 iSignager Frame Series
To check if the specific IP connection exists in the client side, check in a Hyper Terminal
session of the iSignager Frame Series. To create a Hyper Terminal session, please refer
to Section
e,g. ping 10.10.19.253. Press Enter. If the reply message is shown, the connection exists,
e.g.
64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.3 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.7 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.19.253: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.5 ms

A.3 iSignager Frame WL Series Network Behavior
The user can setup LAN and Wifi settings in the iSignager Frame WL Series at the same
time. However, the iSignager Frame WL Series takes LAN as the first priority by default
when booting up. If the LAN is successfully activated, the iSignager Frame WL Series
does not activate the Wifi settings. The Wifi settings is activated only when the LAN
activation process is failed.
