Chapter 6 – RouteFinder Software

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. RouteFinderVPN RF760/660/600VPN User Guide (PN S000323D) 52

Administration > Tools

There are three tools that can help you test the network connections and RouteFinder functionality. Ping and Trace Route

test the network connections on the IP level. TCP Connect tests TCP services for availability.

Notes:

1. For these tools to function, the ICMP on firewall function in Packet Filter > ICMP must be enabled.

2. For the Name Resolution function, enable the DNS proxy function in Proxy > DNS. To use the Name Resolution

function, enable a name server in the menu (item) Proxy > Name Server. When the Name Server is enabled, the IP

addresses of the reply packets will be converted into valid names.

PING

Ping is an acronym for Packet Internet Groper. The PING utility is used as a diagnostic tool to determine if a

communication path exists between two devices on the network. The utility sends a packet to the specified

address and then waits for a reply. PING is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections, but it can be

used to test the connection between any devices using the TCP/IP protocol.

If you PING an IP address, the PING utility will send four packets and stop.

If you add a -t to the end of the command, the PING utility will send packets continuously.

Host – Specify the IP address or name of the other computer for which connectivity is to be checked.

Number of PINGS – Select the number of pings. You can choose 3 (the default), 10 or 100 pings. Enter

the IP address or the name into the Host entry field (e.g., port 25 for SMTP).

Timeout – Specify the time that packets can exist.

Packet Size – Specify the number of data bytes to be sent.

Start – After clicking the Start button, a new browser window opens with the PING statistics accumulating.

"Close the PING Statistics Window to A Sample" PING log is shown below.
