Chapter 1 HWPing Configuration

3) Number of test packets to be sent in a test
If this parameter is set to a number greater than 1, the system sends the second test
packet once it receives a response to the first one, or when the test timer times out if it
receives no response after sending the first one, and so forth until the last test packet is
sent out. This parameter is equivalent to the –n keyword in the ping command.
4) Automatic test interval
This parameter is used to enable the system to automatically perform the same test at
regular intervals.
5) Test timeout time
Test timeout time is the duration while the system waits for an ECHO-RESPONSE
packet after it sends out an ECHO-REQUEST packet. If no ECHO-RESPONSE packet
is received within this duration, this test is considered a failure. This parameter is similar
to the -t keyword in the ping command, but has a different unit (the -t keyword in the
ping

command is in milliseconds, while the timeout time in the HWPing command is in

seconds).
