Testing DockLINK Connectivity to the Wireless Network

The DIAGNOSTICS – PING (RADIO PORT) page allows a remote manager to interrogate the system for information about its ability to communicate with other stations within the network.

Setting the Frames to Send

The Frames to Send field sets the number of packets that will be sent until the Ping session ends. After you start the Ping, the DockLINK sends this number of packets. The test ends when you press the Stop button, or when the count ends, whichever is first.
