Ping
Click on
Tools
in the menu bar, and then click
Ping
below it. This tool is used to send a
specified number of ICMP Echo Request packets to a given destination. All packets are sent
in immediate succession rather than one per second. This behavior is the best one suited for
diagnosing connectivity problems.
•
IP Address
– Target IP to send the ICMP Echo Requests to.
•
Number of packets
– Number of ICMP Echo Request packets to send, up to 10.
•
Packet size
– Size of the packet to send, between 32 and 1500 bytes.

Ping Example
In this example, the
IP Address
is 192.168.10.1 the
Number of packets
is five, after
clicking on
Apply
the firewall will start to send the ICMP Echo Requests to the specified IP.
After a few seconds the result will be shown, in this example only four out of five packets was
received back, a 20% packet loss, and the average time for the packets to travel to and from
the specified IP was 57 ms.
Dynamic DNS
The
Dynamic DNS
(require Dynamic DNS Service) allows you to alias a dynamic IP
address to a static hostname, allowing your device to be more easily accessed by specific
name. When this function is enabled, the IP address in Dynamic DNS Server will be
automatically updated with the new IP address provided by ISP.
Click DynDNS in the Tools menu to enter Dynamic DNS configuration.
The firewall provides a list of a few predefined DynDNS service providers; users have to
register with one of these providers before trying to use this function.
