Ping
On the
System / Ping
page, you can check availability of a host from the local or global network
via the Ping utility.
The Ping utility sends echo requests to a specified host and receives echo replies.
Figure 156. The
System / Ping
page.
To check availability of a host, enter the IP address or name of this host in the
Host
field, and select
a number of requests that will be sent in order to check its availability from the
Count of packets
drop-down list. Click the
Ping
button. The check results will be displayed in the
Log
field.
Also you can run the Ping function in the background mode. To do this, select the
Background
ping
checkbox. Then enter the IP address or name of a host in the
Host
field and click the
Ping
button. When this mode is selected,
the
Count of packets
and
Log
fields are not displayed.
In the background mode, the Ping utility sends requests to the host specified in the
Host
field every
40 seconds. The
Background ping status
light shows the status of the Ping function (green
light: the function is running, red light: the function is not running).
To stop running the Ping function in the background mode, deselect the
Background ping
checkbox, enter the IP address or name of a host in the
