Using the Ping App to Test a Network Connection

The Ping app provides a GUI-based version of the traditional command line ping utility. Pinging sends out an echo
request to a specific computer on the network. Use Ping to verify communication links or to make sure a specific IP address
is working.
In the Apps list, touch Ping
between the screens by swiping left or right.
From the Ping screen you can initiate a ping to a specified remote host and see the results. Enter the destination IP
address in the box and then touch Ping. The results appear in the lower half of the screen. You can configure the
parameters of the ping being sent from the Settings screen.
