Test your connection

After configuring your connection it is time to check if your connection is working.

Connect your controller with your pc using the configured network adaptor (In the virtual machine this is already set-up).
Check if your connection is established by pinging the controller by using the following command in the terminal.
```
ping 192.168.2.100 -c 5
```

Note

In case the Motorcortex Controller is configured for a different network, the settings may have to be adapted. Per default this is not the case

The the terminal should give you a answer that 5 packets have been transmitted and 5 received. If this is not the case please make sure you check out Connection Troubleshooting section that serves as a step by step guide.
Congratulations you have established a connection!
