6.7 Ping
The Ethernet Ping test is a quick and easy way for testing, troubleshooting and
verification of connectivity and latency. Packets are sent from the source
address to the destination address and back again - allowing the user to
determine whether traffic is possible.
6.7.1 Ports Setup and Status
The first step in running an application is to set up the port interfaces. This is
done on the Ports Setup screen, which also provides port status
information.
The setup options and status information related to the Ethernet interface are
described in a separate section:
Ethernet Setup and Status
6.7.2 Test Setup
When you go to the test setup of the Ethernet Ping application, the following
screen is displayed.
This screen allows you to configure the Ping test conditions for the currently
selected port.
Allows you to define the test duration in one of three ways:
Continuous - Used when a persistent Ping test is needed.
Seconds - Used to define the test duration in seconds.
Ping requests - Used to define the test duration in number of ping
requests.
Allows you to specify the Timeout threshold value in milliseconds (ms).
Request interval
Allows you to specify the interval between frames in seconds. When the
value is set to zero (0), frames are transmitted back-to-back.
Frame size
Allows you to specify the frame size in bytes.
Frame size is protocol header and payload combined. Frame size does not
include preamble and interframe gap.
