Diagnostics

Tools

Verify Network Address Accessibility – verify the network address accessibility via the Ping command in standard operating systems. Press Ping to display a dialogue for you to enter the IP address/domain name and press Ping to send the test data to the set address. If the IP address/domain name is invalid, a warning is displayed and the Ping button remains inactive until the IP address becomes valid. The dialogue also displays the procedure state and result. Failed means that either the IP address was unavailable within 10 s or it was impossible to translate the domain name into an address. If a valid response is received, the response sending IP address and response waiting time in milliseconds are displayed. Press Ping again to send another query to the same address.
