PT-G7509 User’s Manual Featured Functions

Ping
The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for
troubleshooting network problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the
ping command is entered from the user’s PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from
the PT-G7509 itself. In this way, the user can essentially sit on top of the PT-G7509 and send ping
commands out through its ports.
To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press Enter from the Console
utility, or click Ping when using the Web Browser interface.
LLDP
The LLDP function is defined by IEEE 802.11AB, and is an OSI Layer 2 protocol that
standardizes the methodology of self-identity advertisement. It allows each networking device,
such as a Moxa managed switch, to periodically inform its neighbors about its self-information
and configurations. As a result, all such devices will have information about their neighbors, and
by using SNMP, this knowledge can be transferred to Moxa’s MXview for auto-topology and
network visualization purposes.
