Send Packet
This option sends an Ethernet packet out one of the Ethernet
ports, mainly as a network connectivity test.
Enter the following:
Protocol: Select the type of packet to send.
Hostname: Specify a host name or IPaddress of the host to
send the packet to.
Port: Specify a TCP or UDP port number of the host to send the
packet to.
String: Enter a set of up to 64 characters. The string is
encapsulated in the packet (so you could use a network sniffer to
track the packet and, by looking at its contents, verify that it was
sent).
Count: The count is the number of times the string is sent.
For UDP, the number of times the string is sent is equal to the
number of packets sent.
For TCP, the number of times the string is sent may (or may not)
be equal to the number of packets sent, because TCP controls
how data is packetized and sent out.
