Ping Test

The Ping Test is provided to allow users to verify basic netowrk connectivity between the console and all clients before proceeding with a migration.

A Ping Test may be blocked by client-side firewalls. Please ensure that client firewalls are configured to allow ICMP echo response before proceeding.

Step-by-Step

1. From the console menu, click Tools -> Tests -> Start Ping Client Test.
   
   
2. Each client will be pinged with 32 bytes of data, in the order it was added to the computer pane.
   
   
3. The ping test results are displayed in the Progress Log in the right-hand pane of the console screen, while the icons for each computer in the computer pane are also udpated to vidually reflect the ping status of each client:
   • A black computer has not yet been pinged.
   • A green computer has been pinged successfully. The response time is specified in the Progress Log.
   • A red computer has failed the ping test. Details are shown in the Progress Log.
   
   
4. To close the test, click the Done button.
