OSI Ping
When you issue an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) ping, the router sends a
Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP) echo request to the remote network
service access point (NSAP) address you specify. The remote device responds if it
can be reached, and Site Manager displays the response.
To send a CLNP echo request:
1. In the Site Manager main window, choose Administration >
Ping from Router > OSI.
The OSI Ping window opens (Figure 11-6)
.

2.
In the Address field, type the NSAP address of the remote device in
hexadecimal notation.
3. In the Timeout field, type the number of seconds the router should wait
for a response from the remote device.
If the router receives a response to a ping after it times out, it does not send an
“alive” message to Site Manager.
4. In the Retries field, type the number of successive times the router should
repeat the ping.
The router does not wait for the timeout before it sends the next ping after a
response to a previous ping is received.
5. Click on Ping.
