    The Windows command that will give you all of the network info is: ipconfig. This works only on the one computer. However, you can execute that command on other computers on the network by first installing PsTools, a free set of tools from Microsoft. The tool you'll want to use is PsExec.

    Code:
    psexec \\remotecomputer ipconfig /all
    or for the whole network:
    Code:
    psexec @computerlist.txt ipconfig /all

    Where "@" directs PsExec to run the command on each computer listed in the text file computerlist.txt

    Note, you may have to pass the username and password in the command too.

    Read the installation and usage instructions at the site. You must put the file psexec.exe in C:\Windows\System32\ . It's a command line program.

    Open a command prompt and use the command: psexec

    I have successfully run the PSExec.

    Actually, we have a "Site Manager" (Secomea brand SE2034) which has been installed by OEM at our Corrugator machine to communicate with machine PCs and PLC remotely. The IP address of this device is 172.16.28.254. To enable it, we ping it and then digit the command "arp "“a" (see attached image). I want to check Site Manager's other settings such as DNS, Subnet Mask, Default Gate way etc. I don't want to ask to OEM but dont know how (see other attachment)

    \\remotecomputer is a generic name, there is no computer named \\remotecomputer.

    \\remotecomputer is used there to demonstrate the command, you must use the actual computer name or its IP address.

    This is an industrial router named "Site Manager" which is used to connect with the HMI PCs and PLC remotely via internet. See attached image.

    Are you sure that device even knows what the Windows command "ipconfig /all" means?

    The manual should help you determine exactly what needs to be donme to communicate with it. 1) What hardware needs to be connected to it in order to communicate with it, and 2) what commands does it understand. Some devices only know a handful ... enough to get them configured.

    Manufacturer of machine sent the required info.
    Checking of subnet mask etc of this site manager by PsExec could not be done. Just for my knwoledge, to check the subnet mask etc of other system (within network) by PsExec, what are the requirements? I tried to check another PC but failed.

    I am really sorry that I have minimum knowledge about IT but after joining this forum, my knowledge has been increasing day by day. My field is electrical maintenance of machines and automation. Modern machinery is equipped with PC (HMIs) and we face problems in those PCs of machines.
