AppleTalk Ping
When you issue an AppleTalk ping to a remote AppleTalk device, the router
responds if the device can be reached, and Site Manager displays the response or
the result of the request.
To send an AppleTalk request to determine the network connectivity of an
AppleTalk host:
1. In the main Site Manager window, choose Administration >
Ping from Router > AppleTalk.
The AppleTalk Ping window opens (Figure 11-8).
