the changes using the alphanumeric keypad (read “Central Setup” in Chapter 2). The device name you assign is for the purposes of the Key Device Ping function. You can also modify the name of a list by pressing the List Name box.

Note

Renaming a device while using Key Device Ping does not modify the original name assigned to the device on the network (i.e., when the device is listed again under Station List, the original name will remain).

To begin pinging the addresses in Key Devices List, press (Begin Pinging). A series of boxes displays showing the status of the ping for each Key List. Press a Key List box to see another series of boxes displaying

ping status of each device in the list. Press (Stop Pinging) to stop this function.

Interpreting Ping Test Results

In general, Packets recv (packets received) should be at about 100%.

Be aware that some devices, including routers, prioritize ICMP ping packets lower than other traffic, so some packet loss can be expected.

When evaluating the ping results it is important to consider the path taken by the packets. Sometimes the problem may be with an intermediate link.

ConfigMaster

ConfigMaster™ is a OneTouch Series II Pro feature that provides network information you can use to properly configure a device. It lists NetBIOS, TCP/IP, and NetWare parameters (DNS, WINS, IP address range, subnet mask, default gateway, POP3 server, frame type, etc.). These parameters correspond to the Network Properties in Microsoft Windows and to certain e-mail settings. One or more of the following will be listed:

IP subnet(s)

POP3 server

IP address range for

SMTP server

each subnet

HTTP server

Subnet mask

NetBIOS domain

Default gateway

qFrame type

qDNS server

IPX network number

WINS server

 

From the Connectivity Tests display, press (ConfigMaster) to access the ConfigMaster tabular

display (Figure 6-12). Each Active Key List box can contain five device addresses. Press one of the tabs (NetBIOS, TCP/IP, or NetWare) to display the appropriate parameters as described below.
