8.6.3 Viewing Ping Statistics

Refer to the Statistics tab for an overview of the overall success of the ping test with the destination IP
addresses displayed within the screen. Use this information to determine whether the destination IP
represents a device offering the switch a viable connection to either extend the switch's existing radio
coverage area or provide support for additional MUs within an existing network segment.
To view ping test statistics:
1. Select Diagnostics
Enter a short name for the ping test to describe either the target destination of the
ping packet or the ping test's expected result. Use the name provided in
combination with the ping test description to convey the overall function of the
test.
Ensure the description is representative of the test, as this is the description
displaying within the Configuration tab.
Enter the IP address of the target device. This is the numeric (non DNS address)
destination for the device transmitted the ping packets.
Define the number of ping packets transmitted to the target device. This value
represents the number of packets transmitted to the target IP address to discern
the round trip time between the switch and its connected device.
Configure the timeout value (in seconds) used to timeout the ping test if a round
trip packet is not received from the target device. Ensure this interval is long
enough to account for network congestion between the switch and its target
device.
Define the interval (in seconds) between ping packet transmissions. Define a
longer interval if high levels of network congestion are anticipated between the
switch and its target device. Use a value of 0 to execute a single ping test or stop
a currently running ping test.
Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error
to return back to the Configuration tab without implementing changes.
