Ping Utility

Ping (Packet InterNet Groper) allows you to check connectivity between the SBG901 and
other devices on the SBG901 LAN. This utility sends a small packet of data and then
waits for a reply. When you Ping a computer IP address and receive a reply, it confirms
that the computer is connected to the SBG901.
