Ping / Trace
Ping/Trace
Select the PING/TRACE button in the Bottom Area. The PING test is used
to verify connectivity, measure round trip communication time, check data
integrity, determine a MAC address and search a stored list or a range of IP
addresses.
Select START in the data action buttons to start Pinging with the selected
profile parameters. Select STOP in the data action buttons to stop Pinging
if using continuous ping. Once the ping test is done, the MAC address of
the pinged devices is shown. The LANEXPERT also displays the last
ping response time in milliseconds, how many Attempted, Lost and Bad
pings there were. The next line describes the minimum, average and
maximum ping response in milliseconds.
Select SETUP in the data action buttons to go straight to the PING/TRACE
setup to change parameters quickly.
Tracert
Select TRACERT button under the device name to trace the route to that
device. The device is listed with the number of hops it took the
LANEXPERT to get to the device. The IP address (if available) is
displayed with the roundtrip time in milliseconds. If the LANEXPERT
cannot resolve the IP address, it displays “IP NOT KNOWN”.
Repeat
Return
Select REPEAT to run through the test again.
Select RETURN to go back to the PING Screen.
