5.5 Network Diagnostics (WibMesh)

Figure 88

– Network Diagnostics

Network Diagnostics allows you to check the communications path to other modules
within the system.

There are two options for checking the communications.

Ping

Ping is a standard Network instruction that sends out a small data probe to the IP
address configured letting you know if you have a communication path or not.

You will receive a response for each Ping, which will show a packet size, IP Address,
Sequence number and a time in milliseconds.

This is followed by a summary showing the number of packets transmitted, the number
of packets received, any lost packets and the Minimum, Average and Maximum Ping
times in milliseconds.

A Ping can be done on either the Radio Network or Ethernet Network. The ping
command will automatically select the correct network interface according to the
address selected.

Remote IP Address

– This is the IP address that you want to Ping

Count / Max Hops

– This is the number of Ping probes that are send out. You should

see this many responses come back.

When pinging on the radio network, the response time for the first ping will be longer if
the device needs to establish a network route to the destination. The information for the
first ping shows the repeater path used.
