Performing a Ping/Link Test
You can isolate faults by running Link tests or Ping tests (IP networks). Select
the
Diagnostics tab and click on the Ping/Link Test button. Choose a test for
sending test packets to, or through, a device in order to verify the path between
two network devices. In the
Destination MAC/IP Address field enter the IP
address or MAC address of the device for which you want to test the connec-
tion. Specify the number of packets to send and the timeout (in seconds) for
each test. Click on the
Start button to start the test. Click on the Stop button
to stop the test.
