Figure 6: Display of “PING Tool” APP

6. By default “PingTools” app will display the Information related to - Network Configuration, Signal Strength, Local Area Network of the Limited AP. Tap on the top left corner to display different Network Services (Ping,Upnp,Bonjour etc.), as shown in the figure below:

Figure 7: Display of Ping Tool Information


1VV0301458 Rev.1.0 of 30 2017-01-01

7. Tap on Ping Service, to start the Ping App.

Figure 8: Display of Ping Tool Services


1VV0301458 Rev.1.0 of 30 2017-01-01

Figure 9: PING Settings


1VV0301458 Rev.1.0 of 30 2017-01-01

9. Enter the IP Address to be pinged and tap on the “PING” option as shown in the below figure:

Figure 10: Selection of IP Address to PING


1VV0301458 Rev.1.0 of 30 2017-01-01

10. “192.168.240.1” is the default IP Address of the GAinSpan Module for range test.Now the “PingTools” App starts sending Ping Packets. After sending 100 Ping Packets, the tool will display the “Ping Statistics” as in the following figure:
