Ping statistics for 10.5.4.116:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

Ifyouarenotableto<ping> the EUM from the PC, go to Troubleshooting on page 121.

Testing the Data Link from the End-user’s PC to the Network

Once the connection from the PC to the EUM is confirmed, ping the EUM gateway address

from a PC DOS window. Ping with short packets first to confirm function, and then with long

packets (1472 byte packets) to confirm performance. Errors observed on pings with long

packets indicate a high error rate on the channel, caused by low signal levels or interference.

To Ping a CCU with the maximum packet size

1. Open a DOS window.

2. At the command prompt, type ping <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd> -t -L 1472, where

<aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd> is the CCU radio IP address and press Enter.

3. Press Ctrl+c to end the test.

NOTE: If this test fails, but pinging the CCU with the default packet size

succeeds, then the connection is working but is not operating at

maximum capacity, possibly due to poor antenna placement or

orientation.

This following example uses the sample configuration shown in Figure 47:

Pinging the CCU from the end-user’s PC (with maximum packet size):

C:\>ping 10.5.0.1 -t -l 1472

Pinging 10.5.0.1 with 1472 bytes of data:
