3.11 Tracing An Interface - Siemens A53457 Installation & Maintenance

For example, if a Packet Switch, OCG or other office device is running codeline 110 and the user

After the Packet Switch, OCG or other office device responds, the WAG will display:
RPING: 110 is at 010.232.054.015

other office devices may take several seconds to respond. In elaborate networks, which may
include radios, responses could take more than 10 seconds to be received and displayed by the
WAG.
