Successes indicates the number of Ping or Link packets that successfully
completed the most recent test.
Failures indicates the number of Ping or Link packets that were unsuccessful

Destination IP/MAC Address is the network address of the target, or destination,
device to which you want to test a connection with the switch. An IP address
is in the X.X.X.X format where X is a decimal number between 0 and 255. A
MAC address is made up of 12 hexadecimal digits, for example, 08000c-070a00.
Number of Packets to Send is the number of times you want the switch to
attempt to test a connection.
Timeout in Seconds is the number of seconds to allow per attempt to test a
connection before determining that the current attempt has failed.

To reset the screen to its default settings, click on the Defaults button.
