Honeywell 9900 manual Ping, Using the Input Tab, Ttl, Tos

Ping

Ping provides a GUI-based version of the traditional command line ping utility. Pinging sends out an echo request to a specific computer on the network. Use Ping to verify communication links or that a specific IP address is working.

Ping contains three tab windows: Input, Output, and About. On the Input tab, you enter and send packet information to a specified remote host and see the result on the Output tab.

On the Network Menu window, tap the Ping icon . The Pings screen opens to the Input tab.
