Ping Test
Ping is a diagnostic tool used to test connectivity between IP Hosts. When a Ping test is
conducted, a small amount of data is sent from one computer to another and back again,
and the time it takes is reported in milliseconds. This can be used on a LAN or across
the Internet.
Once you have configured your iConnectAccess624, it is a good idea to ensure you can
Ping a network device. If your ISP has provided its gateway address, you can try to ping
this address. If the Pings for both the WAN and LAN side complete and you have the
proper protocols configured, you will be able to surf the Internet.
To Perform A Ping Test:
From any screen in the web interface,
step 1
Click the
Tools

step 2
Enter the target address to be pinged in the

step 3

step 4
In the
Number of echo requests
field, enter the number of echo requests,
then click
