Operation and Administration

Ping Test

The Ping Test submenu is used to control pinging from the unit and
includes the following options:
♦ Destination IP Address: Displays the destination IP address of the
device being pinged. Enter an IP address of 4 x 3 digit octets, separated
by dots. The default IP address is 192. 0.0. 1.
♦ No. of Pings: Enter the number of ping attempts per session. The
available range is from 0 to 9999. The default value is 1. Select 0 for
continuous pinging.
♦ Ping Frame Length: Enter the ping packet size. The available range is
from 60 to 1472 bytes. The default value is 64 bytes.
♦ Ping Frame Timeout: Enter the ping frame timeout, which is the
amount of time (in ms) between ping attempts. The available range is
from 200 to 2000 ms, in increments of 200 milliseconds. For example,
200, 400, 600...2000. The default value is 200 ms.
♦ Start Sending: Starts the transmission of ping frames.
♦ Stop Sending: Stops the transmission of ping frames. The test is
automatically ended once the number of pings has reached the value
specified in the No. of Pings parameter, described above. The Stop
Sending option can be used to end the test before completing the
specified number of pings, or if continuous pinging is selected.
♦ Show Ping Test Values: Displays the current values of the ping test
parameters, the transmission status, which means whether it is
currently sending or not sending pings, the number of pings sent, and
the number of pings received, which means the number of
acknowledged frames.
