Parameters
Destination IP Address
(Command)
The IP address (in hexadecimal) of the destination node for the PING com-
mand echo request packet.
Timeout Value (Command) The wait time for the echo reply packet. The value is set in seconds. The time-
out time is set at 20 seconds if the value is specified as 0. If the echo reply
packet is not received within the set time limit, the code for a timeout error will
be set as the results storage response code.
Remarks PING Command
The PING command runs the echoback test using the ICMP protocol. When
the PING command is executed, an echo request packet is sent to the remote
node ICMP. Correct communications are confirmed when the returned
response packet is received normally. The echo reply packet is automatically
returned by the remote node ICMP. Refer to 9-2 PING Command.
