Transmission Group Characteristics
The Transmission Group Characteristics are as they are defined in Link Profiles.
APPN PING
APPN PING is a network groper used to determine the existence of an APPN PING responder.
APPN PING provides the time required to find the remote TP (APINGD). By performing a
number of consecutive sends, the minimum, average, and maximum time required for sending
a data string are determined.

Fully Qualified LU Name
This is used to specify the Network ID and LU name of the APPN node to APING.
APING Packet Size
Enter a decimal number from 0 to 9999.
APING Consecutive Sends
Send this number of back-to-back packets in one PING.
APING Iterations
Repeat the Consecutive Sends this many times.
APING Echo
Enabling this requests the receiver to transmit the packets back.
Disabling this requests the receiver to acknowledge the packets, but not to echo them.
APING Mode
This field toggles to the modes which are currently defined.
