6-1-3 Host Computer Operation
The PING command can be executed from the host computer to send an echo request packet to a
built-in EtherNet/IP port. The following example shows how to use the PING command in the host com-
puter.
Input the following command at the host computer’s prompt ($):
$ ping IP_address (host_name)
The destination is specified by its IP address or host name.
The PING command is not supported by some host computers.
In this example, a PING command is sent to the node at IP address 130.25.36.8. The “$” in the exam-
ple represents the host computer prompt.

Refer to the command reference manual for your computer’s OS for details on using the PING com-
mand.
