Ping Utility
Use this option to verify any communication problems between the Router and various
devices connected to your LAN or at a Remote location. Problems are detected when a
“ping” is sent to a device. If the device echoes back to the Router, then communications
are operating normally. If no echo returns, then further investigation is needed. Devices
must be running TCP/IP software in order for the ping to be successful.
A single ping may be used, where only one packet is sent to the device being tested, or
a continuous ping to the device until you manually terminate the test. Continual pinging
may help identify intermittent communication problems. Please note that when pinging
a device on a remote LAN, it is not unusual for the first ping to fail.
NOTE: In order to perform LAN port testing, the selected frame type must be
Ethernet II and the Router’s IP Address must be configured.
