List of ICMP TYPE
• By sending ICMP TYPE=8 (ping request) to the destination terminal, you ask whether the terminal
is correctly connected/set or not.
• Receiving ICMP TYPE=0 (ping reply) from the destination terminal means that the terminal is
correctly connected/set.
• Receiving ICMP TYPE=3/11/12 (reply [error]) from the destination terminal means that the ter-
minal is not correctly connected/set.
NOTE 1: If ICMP TYPE not listed above is received, “HARDWARE ERROR” is displayed.
NOTE 2: TOS (Type of Service) is present in IP header, and represents QoS (Quality of Service). Prece-
dence/delay/throughput/reliability that determine quality are contained within TOS.
