LAN SOLUTION NETWORK TESTER
3. If an Ethernet link is active on the cable, the tester
turns on its Link LED and begins flashing it in
unison with the Link indicator on the hub, switch,
or NIC at the other end. Tone is also generated on
the cable in this condition, but at a different
cadence to indicate having established a link.
3.6 To PING Devices on a Network
If the jack or plug is unknown, press the CABLE button
to run the Jack ID test first (refer to
Section 3.1
). The
PING function operates in two modes: DHCP On and
Off (manual). Select this in Setup by the DHCP On/Off
option. (To get to Setup, press the SETUP button.) No
other entries are required to establish communication
with a router and a DNS server on a DHCP network. To
PING a specific target (Tg1–4), you must enter the
address and select the desired target address in Setup
before starting the PING test. In DHCP OFF mode, all
IP configuration information must be entered in Setup
first (PING Setup option).
