Running Ping
Results
Ping results verify the overall downstream/upstream communication
route and connectivity of a DSAM within the cable system. The Ping
Test screen enables you to select the IP address, packet size, and
time between pings. It also displays ping result data, including:
– Round trip time
– Time-to-live (TTL)
NOTE
If your upstream and downstream packet loss and upstream SNR
test results are consistently displayed as dashes (---), consult your
JDS Uniphase Corporation Test Productivity Pack (TPP) adminis-
trator about the accuracy of the SNMP strings you have received.
Your meter requires accurate SNMP read community strings to gain
read-only access to the Management Information Base (MIB) of the
Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) and to perform these
DOCSIS measurements.
