Ping Utility
Ping (Packet InterNet Groper) allows you to check connectivity between the SBG901 and other
devices on the SBG901 LAN. This utility sends a small packet of data and then waits for a reply.
When you Ping a computer IP address and receive a reply, it confirms that the computer is
connected to the SBG901.
