Pinging interface modules from the Synergis Appliance Portal

2024-04-16Last updated

You can ping interface modules and their downstream interfaces through the Synergis™ Appliance Portal to check if your unit installation was successful, or to troubleshoot network or packet loss issues.

What you should know

  • You can perform two types of pings from the portal:
    Short ping
    Takes under 10 seconds. The results are displayed under the selected device.
    Long-term ping
    Pings every second for a selected duration. Multiple interface modules can be pinged at the same time. A tar.gz file containing the results of the ping can be downloaded from the Download diagnostic logs page of the portal.
  • ASSA ABLOY and RIO units are not pingable.
  • Synergis™ IX units require firmware 4.00_1143_M036 or later to be pingable.
  • Ping might not work, depending on your firewall settings.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Synergis™ Cloud Link unit.
  2. Click Maintenance > Ping diagnostics .
    A list of all the interface modules and downstream interfaces connected to your Synergis Cloud Link unit is displayed.
  3. Start a ping:
    • For a short ping: Select an interface module, and then click Ping.
    • For a long-term ping: Select one or more interface modules, select a Long-term ping duration, and then click Start ping.
The short ping results are listed under the interface module that you pinged. The long-term ping results are available on the Download diagnostic logs page.
