Test Description / Test Results
Self Test Performs an integrity check of certain internal components of VersaLink.
PING ISP’s
Router
Performs an IP network check (i.e., an IP Ping) of the service provider’s VersaLink. This test
verifies that VersaLink can exchange IP traffic with an entity on the other side of the DSL line.
Possible Responses:
Success: VersaLink has detected an IP Remote Router connection.
No Response: The IP Remote Router does not answer the IP Ping.
Could not test: The test could not be executed due to Router settings. Check your DSL link or
your PPP session. You must have both a DSL link and a PPP connection established to execute a
PING.
DNS Performs a test to try to resolve the name of a particular host. The host name is entered in the
input box.
Possible Responses:
Success: VersaLink has successfully obtained the resolved address. The IP address is shown
below the host name input box.
No Response: VersaLink has failed to obtain the resolved address.
Host not found: The DNS Server was unable to find an address for the given host name.
No data, enter host name: No host name is specified.
Could not test: The test could not be executed due to VersaLink settings. Check your DSL link
or your PPP session. You must have both a DSL link and a PPP connection established to
execute a PING.
IP Address IP Address of the Host Name.
PING
(via IP Address or
Host Name)
Performs an IP connectivity check to a remote computer either within or beyond the service
provider’s network. You can PING a remote computer via the IP address or the DNS address. If
your PING fails, try a different IP or DNS address.
Possible Responses:
Success: The Remote Host computer was detected.
No Response: There was no response to the Ping from the remote computer.
No name or address to PING: No host name or IP address was specified.
Could not test: The test could not be executed due to Router settings. Check your DSL link or
your PPP session. You must have both a DSL link and a PPP connection established to execute a
PING.
Trace Route
Determines the route taken to destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
echo packets with varying IP Time-To-Live (TTL) values to the destination. Trace Route is used
to determine where the packet is stopped on the network.
