NOTE: Ensure that you have inserted the USB drive into the thin client before selecting the Network capture to USB
option. The Network capture to USB option is automatically cleared, if there is no USB drive inserted and you exit the
dialog box, or after restarting the thin client; if needed, you must select the option again.
5. Click the Ping tab, and use the following guidelines to execute the ping diagnostic utility and display response messages:
●
Enter Hostname or IP—Enter the IP address, DNS-registered host name, or WINS-registered host name of the target
to be pinged.
● Data area—Displays ping response messages. The ping command sends one echo request per second, calculates round
trip times and packet loss statistics, and displays a brief summary upon completing the calculation.
● Start—Executes the ping command. If the host is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo request. By
default, echo requests are sent until interrupted by clicking Stop.
● Stop—Terminates the ping request and leaves the Ping dialog box open, so you can read the summary posted in the
data area.
NOTE:
Ping sends an echo request to a network host. The host parameter is either a valid host name or an IP address. If the
host is operational and on the network, it responds to the echo request. Ping sends one echo request per second and
calculates round trip times and packet loss statistics. It displays a brief summary upon completion of the calculation.
The ping utility can be used to:
● Determine the status of the network and various foreign hosts.
● Track and isolate hardware and software problems.
● Test, measure, and manage networks.
● Determine the IP address of a host if only the host name is known.
