Send 1000 ping packets of length 1500 bytes. The process will take 1000 seconds, which is
approximately 17 minutes.
If the computer is running a Windows operating system, this is achieved by typing (for an IPv6
address, use the
ping6
command):
ping –n 1000 –l 1500 <ipaddress>
where <ipaddress> is the IP address of the PTP 670 ODU under test.
If the computer is running a MAC operating system, this is achieved by typing:
ping –c 1000 –s 1492 <ipaddress>
where <ipaddress> is the IP address of the PTP 670 ODU under test.

Record how many Ping packets have been lost. This is reported by Command Prompt on
completion of the test.
The test has passed if the number of lost packets is less than 2.
