Using the Ping Generation
The Ping Generation tool lets you transmit standard ping messages through an
ATM network, targeting a specific destination address. You control the packet
size and the number of packets sent.
This feature is available for use with devices configured in end-station mode.
Starting Ping Generation
Click the Ping Generation button to initiate this feature of the system. This
opens a dialog box through which you'll specify the properties you want (packet
size, number of packets to send, etc.).

Specifying Properties to Use
First select the General tab then specify the
following information:
•
Use the Device drop-down list to select
the analysis device to use. As noted
above, this must be configured as an
end-station device.
•
Enter the Source Address to identify the
analysis device you're using. This is
the address to which the remote device
sends it's reply, after receiving each
ping message. Make sure to specify an
IP address that's different from the IP address of the device's Ethernet port.
•
Specify the Destination Address of the end station you're testing (i.e., the
target station to receive the ping messages).
•
Select the Protocol to use when transmitting the messages:
Protocol
RFC 1577
Description
Classical IP and ARP over ATM.
