2.
In the Address field, enter the IPX address of the remote device, in
hexadecimal or decimal notation.
An IPX address consists of a 4-byte network address and a 6-byte host
address, separated by a period (for example, 0x0000AB12.0x000000CD1234
[leading zero padding is not required]). 0x indicates that the address is in
hexadecimal notation.
An IPX address in decimal notation consists of a 4-byte network address and
a 6-byte host address, where each byte is a number between 0 and 255,
inclusive, and each byte is separated from the next byte by a period (for
example, 0.1.23.47.0.0.0.1.2.55).
3. In the Timeout field, enter the number of seconds after which each ping
times out. The default Timeout is 1 second.
If the router receives a response to a ping after it times out, it does not send an
“alive” message to Site Manager.
4. In the Retries field, enter the number of successive times the router
should repeat the ping. The default for Retries is 0.
The router does not wait for the timeout before sending the next ping.
5. Click on Ping.
Note: If you issue an IPX ping to an entity on a Token Ring network, you must
enter the host portion of the IPX address in byte-swapped (noncanonical)
form.
