Network Tools
The
Network Tools
page provides three tools to detect the network status:
Ping
,
Traceroute
, and
DNS Lookup
.
9.2.1
Ping
Choose
Local Device
>
Diagnostics
>
Network Tools
.
The
Ping
command is used to detect the network connectivity.
Select
Ping
as the diagnosis mode, enter the destination IP address or website address, configure the ping
count and packet size, and click
Start
to test the network connectivity between the device and the IP address
or website. If "Ping failed" is displayed, the device is not reachable to the IP address or website.
9.2.2
Traceroute
Choose
Local Device
>
Diagnostics
>
Network Tools
.
The
Traceroute
function is used to identify the network path from one device to another. On a simple network,
the network path may pass through only one routing node or none at all. On a complex network, packets may
pass through dozens of routing nodes before reaching their destination. The traceroute function can be used to
judge the transmission path of data packets during communication.
