The Diagnostics Menu contains several options pertaining to network device
troubleshooting. You can isolate faults by running Link Test (MAC Addresses)
or Ping Tests (IP Addresses). Options in the Diagnostics Menu are:
Link Test. Runs a test of the connection between the device (the "local"
device) and a designated remote device. During the link test, IEEE 802.3
test packets are sent the number of times chosen from the local device to
the designated remote device. The remote device returns the data to the
local device, where it is compared to the data transmitted. If the received
data matches the transmitted data, the test passes.
A failure means that either device at the destination address did not
respond within the time range specified or the data retruned from the
device indicated an error.
Ping Test. Runs a test of the path between the managed device and
another device on an IP network that responds to IP (Internet Protocol)
packets. During a Ping Test, the managed device sends ICMP (Internet
Control Message Protocol) echo request packets to another node with the
specified IP Address and waits for echo response packets to return. The
node must be capable of responding to ICMP packets.
A failure means that either device at the destination address did not
respond within the time range specified or the data returned from the
device indicated an error.
Browse Hub Configuration. Provides a master dump of many status
screens available from the Hub Console Interface. The screens all show
their current values.
