Ping Settings

Host Name

Specify the IP address of the destination device on the network for which you want to check network connectivity.

Packet Count

Specify the number of packets to send to the destination host, from 1 to 10 (default is 5).

Error Tolerance

Specify the number of packets that have to successfully reach the destination host to return an "OK" status, from 1 to 10 (default is 5). Set this value to be the same or lower than the Packet Count.

Ping Interval

Specify the amount of time to elapse before sending the next packet, from 1.00s to 10.0s (default is 1.00s).

Timeout

Specify the amount of time to wait for a host to indicate a packet was successfully received, from 2.00s to 10.0s (default is 2.00s). If a host reply is not received within the specified time, the request times out, and the sending of that packet is unsuccessful.

Start

Click this button to start the ping session.

Status

• While a ping session is in progress, the status shows as "Initializing".
• If the host can successfully be pinged, the status shows as "OK".
• If the host cannot be successfully pinged based on the defined Ping Settings, the status shows as "Fault - Time exceeded".
