To use PING/iX, you need the internet protocol (IP) address
of the remote node. If you do not wish to use the default values,
you can optionally specify the number of packets to send, and number
of data bytes per packet. The defaults are 64 bytes per packet,
with an infinite number of packets. Use [CTRL-Y]
to stop sending packets.
You must have NA and NM capabilities to use PING/iX.
PING/iX can be run from a menu by entering:
:RUN PING.NET.SYS
or, from the command line using an INFO string in the form:
:RUN PING.NET.SYS;INFO= "ipaddress [, packets ] [, bytes ]"
Examples of both the menu-driven and the command-line interface
are provided in the following sections.

 | NOTE: If you have active PING/iX processes while bringing
up or shutting down the network, the processes will exit to the
menu display and IP address prompt after printing error messages.
It is highly recommended that you run PING/iX after
bringing up the networks, and have no active PING/iX processes when
you shut the network down. |
