3.5 Product feature: Ping
Ping is a tool to help check system
interconnects. Ping is only available
in IP Data mode. The test set uses
Ping to send a 64-byte packet to the
device being pinged. If the connec-
tion is good, then the device will
return a packet to the test set and
the packet transfer information is
displayed on the test set’s screen.
The ability to make a protocol log
while performing a ping to a DUT is
a valuable feature. (Note that the
test set can only log data that trav-
els through the RF link, such as a
DUT ping).
1. On the test set, go to the Call
Setup screen.
2. On the left Control column of
softkeys, press the More key
until you see “2 of 2”.
3. Press the Ping (F3) key.
3.5.1 Pinging the alternate device
When pinging an alternate device,
such as the PC on the LAN, it's
important to note that you cannot
log an alternate device ping because
the data does NOT travel through
the RF link, but only via the LAN.
1. Press the Ping Setup (F1) key.
2. In the Ping Setup table, set the
device to ping to Alternate.
3. In the Ping Setup table, scroll to
Alternate Ping Address, and
press the knob.
4. Under Value, enter the LAN IP
address of your PC (recorded in
section 3.2.5 step 2). Do not
enter leading zeros.
5. Press the knob.
6. Press Start Ping (F3) key. It
may take a moment for the PC
to respond. A correct response
looks like the image above. This
indicates a functioning IP
connection exists between the
test set and the PC. If the PC
doesn’t respond, check
Appendix B: Troubleshooting.
7. Press Stop Ping (F3) key. On
the test set, at the bottom of the
display, note the summary
results data from the ping.
