can be used to remotely diagnose and report cable

faults such as opens, shorts, swaps, and impedance

mismatch. This feature significantly reduces

service calls and returns by allowing users to easily

troubleshoot their cable connections.

a computer is on the Internet. Enter the IP Address

that you wish to Ping, and click
