12 TCP/IP Tests
The tests which are described in this section are used for diagnostics in the
networks containing the devices which ensure the switching and routing of
the data being transmitted. The TCP/IP tests which are implemented in the
device allow detecting the problems relating to the network configuration,
checking the network connectivity, determining data transmission routes,
checking the operability of data links and estimating their occupancy.
Ping
The Ping tool allows checking the operability of data links and intermediate
network devices. When the test is being performed, the system sends
requests to the specified node and records the responses being received
from it. Analysis results are used for generating a statistical report.
To perform the test, follow the procedure below:
1. Connect the device to the network under test according to the diagram
shown below.
2. Set up a network connection (refer Network Parameters on page 103).
3. Open the Ping menu.
