Ping Interval
The ping interval ( 1/ping repetition frequency (PRF)) is the ping rate measured
in time between each transmission.
The phrase ping rate is used to describe the parameter that controls how often
the ES80 can or shall transmit acoustic energy (a "ping") into the water. The
ping rate is normally limited by the maximum range settings. It will also be
dependant on hardware issues. This may be, for example, how fast your
Processor Unit can handle the information from each ping, how fast your
system communicates with external peripherals, or how long time the system
uses to save data.
•
Sequential pinging
This function is not supported by the ES80.
Network
Some ES80 end users connect the Processor Unit to their local area network
(LAN). This group offers generic information about this network. If the Processor
Unit is not connected to a local network, these boxes are empty.
•
Name
This text box reflects the name of the local area network (LAN).
•
Local IP Address
This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Ethernet interface adapter
located in your Processor Unit. In most cases, each Ethernet adapter has a
unique IP address, even when it supports multiple sockets.
•
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
This number reflects the maximum size of the data packets that can be
transferred on the Ethernet line to and from the local area network (LAN).
In computer networking, the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a
communications protocol of a layer is the size (in bytes or octets) of the
largest protocol data unit that the layer can pass onwards. MTU parameters
usually appear in association with a communications interface (NIC,
serial port, etc.). Standards (Ethernet, for example) can fix the size of an
MTU; or systems (such as point-to-point serial links) may decide MTU
at connect time.
