8.6.3 Viewing Ping Statistics
Refer to the Statistics tab for an overview of the overall success of the ping test with the destination IP
addresses displayed within the screen. Use this information to determine whether the destination IP
represents a device offering the switch a viable connection to either extend the switch’s existing radio
coverage area or provide support for additional MUs within an existing network segment.
To view ping test statistics:
1. Select Diagnostics > Ping from the main menu.
2. Select the Statistics tab.
3. Refer to the following content within the Statistics tab to assess the connection with the target
device:
Destination IP Displays the numeric (non DNS address) destination for the device
transmitted the ping packets.
Packets Sent Displays the number of packets transmitted to the target device IP
address. Compare this value with the number of packets received
to assess the connection quality with the target device.
Packets Received Displays the number of packets received from the target device. If
this number is significantly lower than the number sent to the
target device, consider removing this device from consideration for
permanent connection with the switch.
