Ping

The Ping command tests the network connection to another
networking device by sending five ICMP packets from the SA8220
to the target device, which if it receives them, sends a reply. When the
SA8220 receives the reply, it displays a message reflecting the
response time from the target device. If the SA8220 receives no reply,
it displays a message indicating that the target device is not
responding.

To "ping" a network device:

1. From the Command menu, click ping.

2. In the Parameters field, type the host name or IP address of the

target device.

3. Click Run.

After a few seconds, the Ping information displays in the Results
window, as shown below.
