HP VCX Software manual Check Network, Collect data, Test Results

Chapter 12. Tools

Collect data

Below the selection boxes, you activate and deactivate the capture function by pressing the Start capture and Stop capture buttons.

When the capturer has been stopped, the captured log can be downloaded by pressing the Download captured data button. The captured data can be deleted by pressing the Delete captured data button.

Check Network

You can perform ping and trace a network path from the Telecommuting Module to another IP address to check that the network connection is working.

Check Network

Target host

Enter the IP address of the computer for which you want to check the network connectivity.

Ping host

When you press this button, the Telecommuting Module will send ten ping packets to the target host and register the replies from that host.

Note that the target host must be configured to respond to ping packets for this test to suc- ceed. Most common computers do that by default, but 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Mod- ules do not respond to ping request unless they have been configured to do so.

Trace network path

When you press this button, the Telecommuting Module will send packets to the target host and register which path is used by those packets.

For this test to succeed, there must not be more than 30 network elements between the Telecommuting Module and the target host.

Test Results

Below the buttons, the result of the latest test run is shown. A ping test will result in the ten sent packets and their response times.
