Modifying the Configuration of an Existing Ping Test

The properties of an existing ping tests can be modified to ping an existing (known) device whose
network address attributes may have changed and require modification to connect (ping) to it.
To modify the attributes of an existing ping test:
1 Select Diagnostics > Ping from the main menu.
2 Highlight an existing ping test within the Configuration tab and select the Edit button.
3 Modify the following information (as needed) to edit the existing ping test:
Description
Destination IP
No. of Probes
Timeout(sec)
Frequency
4 Click OK to save and add the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
5 Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays
error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the controller.

If necessary, modify the description for the ping test. Ensure this
description is representative of the test, as this is the description
displaying within the Configuration tab.
If necessary, modify the IP address of the target device. This is the
numeric (non DNS address) destination for the device transmitted the
ping packets.
If necessary, modify the number of packets transmitted to the target IP
address to discern the round trip time between the controller and its
connected device.
If necessary, modify the timeout value (in seconds) used to timeout the
ping test if a round trip packet is not received by the controller from its
target device. Ensure this interval is long enough to account for network
congestion between the controller and its target device.
If necessary, modify the interval (in seconds) between ping packet
transmissions. Define a longer interval if high levels of network congestion
are anticipated between the controller and its target device. Use a value
of 0 to execute a single ping or stop a currently executing ping test.
