The Test menus are used to test connectivity of the Router. A Ping test may be done through the
local or external interface to test connectivity to known IP addresses. The diagnostics feature
executes a series of test of your system software and hardware connections. Use this Test menu

Diagnostic Test
Select the Virtual Circuit and click the Submit button. A message will appear informing you if the
loop test succeeded or failed.
The diagnostics utility will run a series of test to check whether the device's connections are up and
working. This takes only a few seconds. The program reports whether the test passed or failed. A
test may be skipped if the program determines that no suitable interface is configured on which to
run the test.
