Ping
Ping (Packet InterNet Groper) is a utility that you can use to verify that a route exists between the
BCM50 and another device. Ping sends an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo
request message to a host. It expects an ICMP echo reply, which you can use to measure the
round-trip time to the selected host. You can measure the percent packet loss for a route by
sending repeated ICMP echo request messages.

2 Open the Utilities folder, and then click Ping.
The Ping panel opens.
3 In the Address field, enter the IP address of the element you want to ping.
