Viewing ping statistics
Refer to the Statistics tab for an overview of the overall success of the ping test with the destination
IP addresses displayed within the screen. Use this information to determine whether the
destination IP represents a device offering the switch a viable connection to either extend the
switch’s existing radio coverage area or provide support for additional MUs within an existing
network segment.
To view ping test statistics:
1. Select Diagnostics > Ping from the main menu.
2. Select the Statistics tab.
3. Refer to the following content within the Statistics tab to assess the connection with the target
device:
Destination IP Displays the numeric (non DNS address) destination for the device transmitted the
ping packets.
Packets Sent Displays the number of packets transmitted to the target device IP address.
Compare this value with the number of packets received to assess the connection
quality with the target device.
Packets Received Displays the number of packets received from the target device. If this number is
significantly lower than the number sent to the target device, consider removing
this device from consideration for permanent connection with the switch.
Min RTT Displays the quickest round trip time for ping packets transmitted from the switch
to its destination IP address. This may reflect the time when data traffic was at its
lowest for the two devices.
Max RTT Displays the longest round trip time for ping packets transmitted from the switch to
its destination IP address. This may reflect the time when data traffic was at its
most congested for the two devices.
