Services: NETWORK PING
The network ping tool enables an IP address to be to be pinged from within the Mesh2HT
unit which can help to confirm an Ethernet cable connection between the Mesh2HT unit
and the Ethernet device it is connected to. This tool can ping any IP on the network
given that the wireless unit has an established connection either wirelessly or over cable.
Select the ‘Ping Utility’ button and the following screen will appear.
Insert the IP address under ‘Destination IP/HOST’. The packet count & size can be
changed to a desired number of ping attempts and length of packet. If ‘continuous’ is
selected, the ping attempts will continue until ‘Stop’ button below is clicked. Continuous
pings will determine when a device has reconnected after either being rebooted or
having left the network.
The sample IP above is a valid IP on the 192.168.1 subnet on the network. All five
attempts replied indicating that the connection to 192.168.1.15 from the Mesh2HT unit
which performed the ping is established.

Services: BRIDGE TABLE

connection through one of the WiFi radios.
