Ping Stats: The percentage of ping packets lost.
Select the arrow to expand for the following detailed
Ping information:
Figure 58. Roaming Test Ping Stats
IP Address: The IP address of the target to which
AirCheck G2 is sending ping packets.
Pings Sent: The number of ping packets sent.
Pings Returned: The number of ping packets returned.
Pings Lost: The number of ping packets lost.
NOTE: When the roaming test is stopped, there may
still be a few ping packets in transit that have not yet
been received and have not timed out to count as lost
pings. Therefore, the reported number of pings
received and the number of pings lost may not add up
to the total number of pings sent. The difference is
just the number of pings in transit when the test was
stopped. This is shown in Figure 58.
Avg, Min, and Max Ping Rsp Time: The average,
minimum, and maximum ping response times.
NOTE: If the target of a roaming test is a hostname
which cannot be DNS-resolved to an IP address for
that target, the results of the test are displayed as
follows:
The Ping Stats Field: Turns red, without showing any
data.
The Ping Stats Pull-down menu: Displays “IP Address
+ DNS Failed.”
Connection Range (line graph): The connection range over
time. The connection range is calculated using this formula:
(Average Ping Response Rate) * (Actual TX Data Rate/
Maximum Possible TX Data Rate). This pane is expanded by
default. Select the up arrow to collapse it.
