Ping Link Verification

Verify physical link connectivity and test basic network communication using ICMP ping between your host and partner device.

Before you begin

Connect FibreCode Sticks to Host

In this example, two FC602 USB 100BASE-T1 Sticks (or FC621 USB 10BASE-T1L Sticks) are connected point-to-point between a Windows host and a Linux host:

FibreCode Stick Setup

Verify that both network interfaces are configured with static IPv4 addresses on the same subnet:

ipconfig

Windows ipconfig

ip addr show

Linux ip addr show

Ping Command

Run in Windows Command Prompt:

ping 192.168.1.11

Expected terminal output:
