This command allows you to test general network connectivity between your client computer system and the LAN/GPIB Gateway. At the client system, type: ping hostname (or) IP_address Return
For example, using a Gateway’s hostname:
ping E2050.agilent.com Return

If the ping response is similar to the following, the Gateway has been configured successfully. If, after several seconds, ping does not print any lines, use Ctrl+C to kill ping. The ping will then report on what it found.
