5.3 Network Diagnostics
Figure 35 – Network Diagnostics
Network Diagnostics allows you to check the communications path to other modules
within the system.
There are two options for checking the communications.
Ping
Ping is a standard Network instruction that sends out a small data probe to the IP
address configured letting you know if you have a communication path or not.
You will receive a response for each Ping, which will show a packet size, IP Address,
Sequence number and a time in milliseconds.
Followed by a summary showing the number of packets transmitted, the number of
packets received, any lost packets and the Minimum, Average and Maximum Ping times
in milliseconds.
A Ping can be done on either the Radio Network or Ethernet Network. The ping
command will automatically select the correct network interface according to the
address selected.
Remote IP Address – This is the IP address that you want to Ping
Count / Max Hops – This is the number of Ping probes that are send out. You should
see this many responses come back.
