PING is a TCP/IP diagnostic utility that helps to isolate network hardware problems and incompatible configurations by allowing you to verify a physical connection to a remote computer. PING must run successfully before iFIX can run properly. To run PING, type the following from the command line:
PING SCU_nodename<Enter>
For example, to test a connection from a View node to the local SCADA node, SCADA01, type the following:
PING SCADA01<Enter>
See your TCP/IP manuals for additional information on using PING.
