The following sections describe the available ping options.
IP Ping
When you ping a remote device using the Internet Protocol, the ping program
residing on the router sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo
request to the remote address you specified in the IP Ping window. The remote
device responds to the router’s request if it is reachable. A message window pops
up, showing the response or the result of the request.
To send an ICMP echo request to a remote device running IP, proceed as follows:
1. Select Administration > Ping from Router > IP.
The IP Ping window appears
(Figure 7-10).

2. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the remote device, in
dotted decimal notation.
3. In the Timeout field, enter the number of seconds after which you want
each ping to time out. The default Timeout is 1 second.
If the router receives a response to a ping after the ping has timed out, it does
not send an “alive” message to Site Manager.
