successfully.

The Near End Loop test lets you see how the far site would see and hear you.
This test is not available when you are in a call.

Press any button on the remote control to stop the loop.

The PING screen allows you to test whether the system can establish contact with
a far-end IP address that you specify.
This test is not available when you are in an IP call, and it is not available from the
Web interface.
