Performing a Ping Test

This test lets you check for the presence of a remote device
on a network. The Ping message is really an IP message which
is sent, using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP),
to obtain a reply from the destination and to check the
network's ability to deliver a message. The destination device,
if present, responds with an acknowledgment.
• Choose PING Test in the Setup Test Config menu to
display the PING Test Config menu.
Specifying the transmission rate

• Press ENTER to save and exit. The frame rate entered
