Device ping
Use the Ping tool to ping an individual system or multiple systems. To ping systems, select
Diagnoise→Ping. The Ping window appears. Select the target systems and click Run Now to run
the task. For more information, see Creating a task.
If a system does not resolve to an IP address, the request cannot be performed. For systems with
multiple IP addresses, the result of each IP address occupies one row in the result page. The status
on the upper-right corner is: Pinging selected systems. After all the systems on the list are
pinged, the status is: Ping completed with a time stamp of the completion time.
The ping results appear in a separate window.
