Ping Utility

Use this option to verify any communication problems between the Router and various devices connected to your LAN or at a Remote location. Problems are detected when a “ping” is sent to a device. If the device echoes back to the Router, then communications are operating normally. If no echo returns, then further investigation is needed. Devices must be running TCP/IP software in order for the ping to be successful.

A single ping may be used, where only one packet is sent to the device being tested, or a continuous ping to the device until you manually terminate the test. Continual pinging may help identify intermittent communication problems. Please note that when pinging a device on a remote LAN, it is not unusual for the first ping to fail.

NOTE: In order to perform LAN port testing, the selected frame type must be Ethernet II and the Router’s IP Address must be configured.
