4.15 Network Diagnostics 

This section provide the Physical layer and IP layer network diagnostics tools for troubleshoot. The diagnostic tools are designed for 

network manager to help them quickly diagnose problems between point to point and better service customers.   

Use the Diagnastics menu items to display and configure basic administrative details of the Managed Switch. Under System the 

following topics are provided to configure and view the system information:   

This section has the following items: 

 

Ping 

 

IPv6 Ping 

 

Remote IP Ping 

 

Cable Diagnostics 

 

PING 

The ping and IPv6 ping allow you to issue ICMP PING packets to troubleshoot IP connectivity issues. The Managed Switch transmit 

ICMP packets, and the sequence number and roundtrip time are displayed upon reception of a reply.   

 

Cable Diagnostics 

The Cable Diagnostics performing tests on copper cables. These functions have the ability to identify the cable length and operating 

conditions, and to isolate a variety of common faults that can occur on the Cat5 twisted-pair cabling. There might be two statuses as 

follow: 

  If the link is established on the twisted-pair interface in 1000Base-T mode, the Cable Diagnostics can run without disruption 

of the link or of any data transfer.   

  If the link is established in 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, the Cable Diagnostics cause the link to drop while the diagnostics are 

running.  

After the diagnostics are finished, the link is reestablished. And the following functions are available. 

  Coupling between cable pairs. 

  Cable pair termination
