IP Ping Responses
Site Manager displays one of the following messages when you click on Ping. (If

following messages for the default ping, plus one for each additional ping.)
• An “alive” message
An “alive” message appears if the router received an ICMP echo response
from the target device within the timeout period. The message also provides
the size of the test packet. Figure
