LAN SOLUTION NETWORK TESTER
Once the router MAC address is found, the LAN
Solution Network Tester begins sending ICMP echo
request (PING) packets to the router. The status
displayed under the Rtr acronym changes to
◆
|
◆
with
the
◆
symbol bouncing back and forth across the net
(|). Each time the tester sends a PING request, the
◆
is
shown on the left side of the net. Each time a response is
received, the
◆
bounces to the other side. If no
◆
appears on the right while it is blinking on the left, it
means that the tester is sending but the router is not
answering.
Selecting the Rtr acronym and pressing SEL twice will
show the present IP address for the router on the top
line and the count of the X (transmit) and R (receive)
packets. If no PING response has been received, the
status is “No PING Response.” Missing Receive packets
can mean that the LAN or the router is busy, or that
there is some other problem on the LAN. Pressing the
SEL button again will drop down to the third Status
screen, which shows the time between the transmission
of the last received PING packet and its reception time
on the top line of the LCD, and the average time
between transmission and reception of all PING packets
to the router in this conversation on the bottom line.
