"Protection Level/Password" on page 688.
Note: We recommend that you change the default password before connecting the

See Chapter 11.5.4, "Password Management", on page 694.
Ping Client
The "Ping Client" page provides the ping utility to verify the connection between the
LXI-compliant instrument and another device.
The ping is initiated from the instrument. Using the ICMP echo request and echo reply

working. Ping is useful for the diagnosis of IP network or router failures.
To initiate a ping at the instrument:
1. On the "Ping Client" page, enter the IP address of the host in the "Destination
Address" field (for example 10.113.1.151).
2. Select "Submit".
