/usr/discreet/sw/sw_ping -framestore <framestore_name> -r
-w -size <packetsize> -loop <n>
Description:Option:
Is the name of the framestore to ping.-framestore
<framestore_name>
Reads a buffer from the remote framestore.-r
Writes a buffer to the remote framestore (non-destructive).-w
Reads/writes a buffer of packetsize bytes.-size <packetsize>

The following is an example for an NTSC (720 x 486 x 3) frame format,
sent 100 times in read and write mode to framestore my_framestore:

-write -size 1049760 -l 100
Verifying Remote Clip Library Access and Permissions
Verify that the local host has write permissions to the clip library directory of
the remote host.
To verify remote clip library access and permissions:
1 Try to access the clip library directory of the remote host. Type:
cd /hosts/<remote_machine>/usr/discreet/clip
2 If an error message appears on the client machine, check to see that the
required network daemons are on.
3 If you have access to /hosts/<remote_machine >/usr/discreet/clip, make sure
you have root privileges to read and write to this directory.
Type the following command:
touch /hosts/<remote_machine>/usr/discreet/clip/deleteme
