| How can I check the ping or latency from myself to Callcentric? |
 |
Callcentric only allows pinging to a specific address within our network. To check the latency from yourself to Callcentric you may ping the following address:
ping.callcentric.net
- In Microsoft Windows you can ping by following these steps:
- Click the START menu
- Select "Run..." to get to the command prompt or use the search field at the bottom of the menu
- Within the run window enter "cmd", or "command", without quotes, and click the OK button
- A new window will open.
- At the prompt type, or paste, ping ping.callcentric.net and hit the ENTER key.
- In an Apple/Mac environment you will need to launch a terminal and then run the ping command. The terminal application is usually located in Applications->Utilities->Terminal.app.
- You will want to make sure that you do not send too many pings, a limit of 10 is usually sufficient. Note that on a successful ping command Windows systems usually stop at 4 pings while Linux, Apple/Mac and Unix systems will generally keep going until stopped (Ctrl+C).
- At the prompt type, or paste, ping ping.callcentric.net and hit the ENTER key
You should now get something like this:
Pinging ping.callcentric.net [44.193.104.143] with 32 bytes of data:
