Response Display
Status | Description |
---|---|
Green | Remote device can be found and is responding to ping requests (Response time in ms shown) |
Amber | Remote device is being send data but is not responding |
Red | Remote device cannot be found |
Please note that response times (green status) will only be shown if the remote device accepts ping requests.
