Ping TapeTrack Server allows you to ping the TapeTrack Framework Server, using TMSS10Ping, from within Lite, negating the need to open a command prompt and run the program from there.
TMSS10Ping
sends payload packets via the TCP/IP protocol. This means that even if a firewall is configured to block ping requests, if TapeTrack connections are allowed, then TMSS10Ping
packets will be successful.
The settings to execute TMSS10Ping
via the Lite menu are contained in the Lite Config file. These settings need to be customised to your values before the command will execute successfully. Default settings will connect to localhost. See Lite config file for details on how to edit server address.
From the drop down menu in Lite select Ping TapeTrack Server
.
Lite will open a command prompt window and execute TMSS10Ping
and display the results.
A successful connection will show four byte packets with the travel time as well as a summary on round trip minimum, average and maximum times.
