16.1 Diagnostics
In the Advanced screen, click Diagnostics. The following screen will appear. Using this screen, you can run the
following diagnostics tests:
• To run a DNS test, type the appropriate host name in the field provided, and then click test.
• To run a PING test, type the appropriate IP address or host name in the field provided, and then click test.
• To run a Trace Route, type the appropriate IP address or host name in the field provided, and then click
trace.
• To run a full diagnostic test on your Router, click Test All.
If you want to PING using the System Self Test screen (diagnostics page) shown above, enter your DNS or IP
address in the fields provided and click on the test button. The System Self Test will run a diagnostic test that
executes independent of firewall security settings. See the following table for test descriptions and possible
responses.
If you want to PING using the MS-DOS (shell) window, first you will need to check your firewall security setting.
(If you PING via DOS shell you are susceptible to firewall rules, as this PING is dependent on VersaLink's firewall
settings.) If your firewall is set to Medium or High, you will not be able to PING. You must set your firewall
security setting to Low or None.
