Pinging Other
Devices
The PING feature allows you to send out a PING request to test whether
devices on an IP network are accessible and functioning correctly. This
feature is useful for testing that the stack is installed and set up correctly,

on the IP menu.

The stack sends a single PING request to the specified device and a
message similar to the following is displayed:
Starting ping, resolution of displayed time is 10 milli-sec
If the device is accessible and functioning correctly, a message similar to
the following is displayed:
response from 191.128.40.121: 3 router hops. time = 10ms
If the device is not accessible, or is not functioning correctly, a message
similar to the following is displayed:
No answer from 191.128.40.121
