Using the Ping Function

The Ping option is used to confirm IP connectivity by pinging other IP hosts. Connectivity is confirmed by receiving a reply from the remote (pinged) IP host.

To ping a host:

1.From the Diagnostic Tools menu, type 1 and enter the desired host IP address.

2.Press <Enter> to confirm the destination IP address.

3.To start pinging, type 2 on the Diagnostic Tools screen.

After pinging starts, you can monitor the ping status. A typical screen is shown in Figure C-26.

Note After pinging is started, it continues in the background even if you exit the Diagnostics Tools screen. In this case, a Ping Running message appears in the top upper left-hand corner of the screen.

4. To stop pinging, type 3 from the Diagnostic Tools menu.

A Ping Stopped message is displayed.

To clear the message and return to the Diagnostic Tools screen, press any key.
