Selecting “F3” from the TCP/IP Connect panel selects the Ping Feature Panel.
The Ping feature is a useful diagnostic tool if you fail to complete a TCP/IP connection. The
ping command transmits an ICMP echo request and displays response data or error messages
in the response column of the Ping panel. The response data or errors for up to twelve ping
requests are displayed in the field labeled “Response”. After the field is full, the response data

the last line of the field.
You can Ping an IP Host by entering one of the following items in the “Ping:” field and

by a dot. For example, 192.82.252.236 is an IP address in decimal format.
Optional parameters are allowed as described below.
• Line ID – If you are pinging a specific IP Host using the DNS name or IP address, you can
the ping through a specific line by entering the line ID as the 2nd parameter. Otherwise, the
first line configured for TCP/IP will be used.
• Count – If you wish to ping more than once, a decimal number in the range of 1 to 255 must
be entered as the last parameter. When pinging a class, this will be the second parameter.
When pinging a specific IP Host, this will be the third parameter. The number entered
indicates how many times a echo request is transmitted.
Once all parameters are entered and
selected host the number times indicated by the count, or until no response is received. You
can request an abort of the ping command by pressing any key. However, the abort request will
