Ping
The Netopia Router 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 Router. You can also ascertain the
quality and reliability of the connection to the desired destination by
studying the Ping test’s statistics.
To use the Ping utility, select Ping in the Statistics, Utilities, Tests
screen and press Return to go to the Ping screen.
