Verify The Internet Connection - OptConnect ema Windows Networking Manual

If Windows fails to connect, or issues a message asking the user to set an APN for ema, navigate to
section 3.4 for troubleshooting information.

3.3.4 Verify the Internet Connection

Before attempting to test the Internet connection, ensure that all other Internet sources are disconnected
or deactivated. If other Internet sources are active at the same time as the cellular Internet connection,
then it is likely that any Internet traffic will be routed through these other sources as opposed to ema.
To test the connection, open a Windows Command Prompt window. Next, type the following command:
ping 8.8.8.8 -n 5
This will ping Google's public DNS server with 5 packets of data. If the response to the above command
indicates 0% packet loss, and resembles Figure 22 below, then it is safe to say that the host platform is
connected to the internet.
