Interfaces Status Screen
The Interfaces Status screen provides network interface details of each interface for the
GV Orbit server. See also Port Identification , on page 15.
Host Name Screen
The Host Name screen allows you to set the GV Orbit server’s network host name. The host
name is the network name that uniquely identifies this GV Orbit server.
DNS Screen
The DNS screen allows you to set the GV Orbit server’s DNS servers it will use.
PING Screen
The PING screen allows you to test the reachability of a remote host on an IP network and to
determine the time it takes test packets to be returned from the remote host. For example,
the response time for a panel is sluggish or non-responsive. Use the panel’s IP address with
ping to find out the network delay with the panel. If network delay is the root cause, ping
can be used to evaluate the success of mitigation strategies.
