Using the ping Command for ISDN Connections
To check the availability of a remote device in an ISDN network, you can use the
ping command. The ping command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) echo request to a remote address that you specify. You can issue this
command using Site Manager’s Administration option, Ping from Router, or by
using the Technician Interface.
Call setups for dial connections require more time than setups for ISDN
connections. When you ping a remote device using the default timeout value, 5
seconds, it may fail because the router does not wait long enough for a response
from the remote device. Therefore, you may want to increase the timeout value so
the router will allow enough time for a response.
For information about using the
ping command, refer to Configuring and
Managing Routers with Site Manager. For information about using the Technician
Interface, refer to Using Technician Interface Software.
