Perform network diagnostics

If your Pearl has network trouble, you can perform basic network troubleshooting tasks from the Network
configuration page. In addition to providing the system’s IP address and MAC address to your network
administrator (See

Perform network diagnostics

), you can also ping an IP address or use traceroute to

determine the path taken to an address.

Note: Not all networks support ping and traceroute.

To ping or traceroute an IP address:

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See

Connect to the admin

interface

.

 2. Login as admin.

 3. Select the Network link in the Configuration menu; the network configuration page opens.

 4. Click ping or traceroute; an animation appears to the left of the address to indicate processing is

underway.

 5. Upon completion of the command, read the results from the console-like display is shown below the

Network Diagnostics setting.
