Ping the Collaboration Server
The Ping administration tool enables the Collaboration Server Signaling Host to test network connectivity
by Pinging IP addresses.
Guidelines
● The IP addressing mode can be either IPv4 or IPv6.
● Both explicit IP addresses and Host Names are supported.
● The Collaboration Server Web Client blocks any attempt to issue another Ping command before the
current Ping command has completed. Multiple Ping commands issued simultaneously from multiple
Collaboration Server Web Clients are also blocked.
