Roaming Profiles
Write roaming profiles to the C drive. The profiles need to be limited in size and will not be
retained when the terminal is rebooted.
Note
For roaming profiles to work and be downloaded, there must be sufficient
flash space available. In some cases it may be necessary to remove
software components to free up space for roaming profiles.
WinPing Utility
The WinPing window (Figure 17) is opened by typing WinPing in the Run menu (opened
from the Start menu). The WinPing window is used to launch the Windows Ping
diagnostic utility and view the results from pinging.
Windows Ping (Packet InterNet Groper) is a diagnostic tool familiar to administrators. It
sends an echo request to a network host. The host parameter is either a valid host name
or an IP address. If the host is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo
request. The default is to send 5 echo requests and then stop if no response is detected.
WinPing sends one echo request per second and calculates round trip times and packet
loss statistics, and displays a brief summary on completion.
Figure 17 WinPing Window
WinPing can be used to:
• Determine the status of the network and various hosts.
• Track and isolate hardware and software problems.
• Test, measure, and manage networks.
• Determine the IP address of a host if only the host name is known.
