Ping

The Netopia D-Series includes a standard Ping test utility. A Ping test generates IP packets destined for a particular (Ping-capable) IP host. Each time the target host receives a Ping packet, it returns a packet to the original sender.

Ping allows you to see whether a particular IP destination is reachable from the Netopia D-Series. You can also ascertain the quality and reliability of the connection to the desired destination by studying the Ping test’s statistics.

In the Utilities & Diagnostic screen, select Ping and press Return. The ICMP Ping screen appears.

Enter the IP Address/Domain Name of a host to ping.

Send ICMP Echo Requests to a network host.

To configure and initiate a Ping test, follow these steps:

1.Select Name of Host to Ping and enter the destination domain name or IP address.

2.Select Packets to Send to change the default setting. This is the total number of packets to be sent during the Ping test. The default setting is adequate in most cases, but you can change it to any value from 1 to 4,294,967,295.

3.Select Data Size to change the default setting. This is the size, in bytes, of each Ping packet sent. The default setting is adequate in most cases, but you can change it to any value from 0 (only header data) to 1664.

4.Select Delay (seconds) to change the default setting. The delay, in seconds, determines the time between Ping packets sent. The default setting is adequate in most cases, but you can change it to any value from 0 to 4,294,967. A delay of 0 seconds forces packets to be sent immediately, one after another.

5.Select START PING and press Return to begin the Ping test. While the test is running, the START PING item becomes STOP PING. To manually stop the Ping test, select STOP PING and press Return or Escape.

While the Ping test is running and when it is over, a status field and a number of statistical items are active on the screen. These are described below.
