Pinging a Remote System
This procedure instructs the stack to ping a node on your network. This
can be useful in determining whether an active path exists between the
stack and another network device.
Note
To ping a remote device, the stack must have a routing interface on
the local subnet from where it will access the device. The stack uses
the IP address of the interface as its source address in the ping
packets. For background information on routing interfaces, refer to
the AT-S63 Management Software Features Guide.
To instruct the stack to ping a network device:
1. From the Home page, click the Monitoring button.
2. From the Monitoring menu, click the Utilities button.
3. Select the Ping Client tab, shown in Figure 3.

4. Enter the IP address of the end node you want the stack to ping.
5. Click the OK button. The results of the ping are displayed in a popup
window.
6. To stop the ping, click the OK button in the pop window.
