APPN Ping
When you issue an APPN ping to a remote APPN device, the remote device
responds if it can be reached, and Site Manager displays the response or the result
of the request. APPN ping uses the APING (APPN Ping) Transaction Program
(TP) to send an APING request to the APING TP running on the remote device.
To send an APPN ping request:
1. In the main Site Manager window, choose Administration >
Ping from Router > APPN.
The APPN Ping window opens (Figure
11-9).

2.
In the Target CP/LU Name field, type the APPN address of the remote
device.
Enter the address in the format of a Control Point name.
Use the format <network ID>.<CP name> if the remote device is not on the
same network as the router.
