Performing a Ping/Link Test

You can isolate faults by running Link tests or Ping tests (IP networks). Select the Diagnostics tab and click on the Ping/Link Test button. Choose a test for sending test packets to, or through, a device in order to verify the path between two network devices. In the Destination MAC/IP Address field enter the IP address or MAC address of the device for which you want to test the connec- tion. Specify the number of packets to send and the timeout (in seconds) for each test. Click on the Start button to start the test. Click on the Stop button to stop the test.
