VersaLink Wireless Gateway (Model 327W)
If you want to PING using the System Self Test screen (diagnostics page) shown above, enter your
DNS
or
IP
address in the fields provided and click on the
test
button. The System Self Test will run a diagnostic test that
executes independent of firewall security settings. See the following table for test descriptions and possible
responses.
If you want to PING using the MS-DOS (shell) window, first you will need to check your firewall security setting.
(If you PING via DOS shell you are susceptible to firewall rules, as this PING is dependent on VersaLink's firewall
settings.) If your firewall is set to
Medium
or
High
, you will not be able to PING. You must set your firewall
security setting to
Low
or
None
.
