Pinging a device by using the P line command


A ping is a diagnostic echo packet that measures and displays the round-trip time and percentage of returned packets (EE and RTP information). Use the following procedures to ping a device by using the P line command.

Use one of the following procedures to ping a device:

  • Select an IP address that is displayed in the Ping IPAddr field of the PCONS view.
  • Type a ping command on the COMMAND line.
  • Issue the P line command from a Ping Information view.
  • Issue the P line command from a Connections view.

To issue the P line command from a connections view

  1. From the EZIP menu, select Connections from the TCP/IP Activity section.
  2. From the EZCONS menu, select one of the following types of connections from the Connections section and press Enter:

    • All
    • Listen
    • Active
    • TCP
    • UDP
    • TN3270
    • ATTLS

    The panel for the selection is displayed with a list of IP addresses. For example, selecting All displays the ALLCONS panel.

  3. Type P in the CMD field beside the connection address that you want to ping.The Ping Connection pop-up is displayed.
