The Ping test is used to determine whether a particular host is reachable
across an IP network. The ping test uses ICMP echo messages to monitor
the availability of a given host and measure the round-trip latency, jitter and
packet loss between the source and the specified endpoint.

1. From the Main Menu, tap Ping.
2. From the Interface tab, configure the test interface parameters. Refer
to Interface on page 20. Ensure that the link is up in the status bar
before proceeding to the next step.

Configuration (Ping) on page 23.
4. Press Start to start the test.
5. For results, refer to Result Summary (Ping) on page 30.

results and statistics. Refer to Report on page 45 for more information.
