Ping Test - EnGenius EWS Series User Manual

Ping Test

The Packet INternet Groper (Ping)Test allows you to verify connectivity to remote hosts. The Ping test
operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) request packets to the tested host and
waits for an ICMP response. In the process it measures the time from transmission to reception and
records any packet loss. Send a ping request to a specified IPv4 address. Check whether the Switch can
communicate with a particular network host before testing.
You can vary the test parameters by entering the data in the appropriate boxes. To verify accuracy of the
test, it is recommended that you run multiple tests in case of a test fault or user error.
