3.14.10 Ping and Ping6
The
Ping
function uses the
ping
command to give users a simple but powerful tool for
troubleshooting network problems. The function's most unique feature is that even though the ping
command is entered from the user's PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from the
Weidmüller switch itself. In this way, the user can essentially sit on top of the Weidmüller switch and
send ping commands out through its ports.
To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address (ICMPv4 or ICMPv6), and then click
Start
.
The payload size of the ICMP packet (8 to 1400 bytes) as well as its number can be programmed by
the user. The sequence number and roundtrip time will be displayed upon reception of a reply. The
page refreshes automatically until responses to all packets are received, or until a timeout occurs.
3.15 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
NOTE:
PoE menu is only available in the models IE-SW-AL08M-8GTPoE and
IE-SW-AL06M-4GTPoE-2GESFP.
Power over Ethernet has become increasingly popular due in large part to the reliability provided by
PoE Ethernet switches that supply the necessary power to Powered Devices (PD) when AC power is
not readily available or cost-prohibitive to provide locally.
Power over Ethernet can be used with:
•
Surveillance cameras
•
Security I/O sensors
