PING/iX Utility

Using Menu-Driven PING/iX

When you run PING/iX without parameters, the display shows the

input parameters available. For example, enter:

:RUN PING.NET.SYS

The following menu is displayed:

------- PING/iX (ICMP Echo Requestor) : Version B0300003 -------

Information on Input Parameters:

(CONTROL-Y at any point to exit to main level)

IP address — In decimal form; (.e.g.,) 15.13.131.55;

RETURN to quit program

# packets — Between 1 and 65544; RETURN for the

default of infinite packets, and CONTROL-Y

to stop sending.

data bytes — Between 0 and 2048; should be 4 or more to

get round trip times; RETURN for the default

of 64 bytes.

IP address [RETURN to quit program.] ?

Enter the IP Address

This is a required parameter. Enter the IP address of the remote node

in decimal notation at the IP address prompt. For example:

IP address [RETURN to quit program.] ? 15.13.131.55

Enter the Number of Packets

This is an optional parameter. Once a valid IP address has been

entered, you are prompted for the number of packets. For example, 20

packets has been entered below:

# of packets [1 to 65534] ? 20

The number of packets entered must be between 1 and 65534. The

default is to send a continuous stream of packets which can be selected

by pressing the

[Return] key at the prompt. If you use the default (a

continuous stream), you must enter

[CTRL-Y] to stop sending packets.

Enter the Number of Bytes

This is an optional parameter. Once a valid number has been entered

for the number of packets to be sent, you are prompted for the number

of bytes to be sent per packet. For example, 1000 has been selected:

# of bytes of data [0 to 2048] ? 1000
