Contacting the remote site

If uucp cannot establish a connection with the remote system, one of the IP address for the remote system might be wrong or the network path between your system and the remote system might be down. You should be able to ping the remote system to confirm this.

Example: If the address of the remote system west is west.ibm.com, enter:

tso 'ping west.ibm.com'

The following display indicates a successful connection:

PING V3R1: PINGING HOST west.ibm.com  (120.40.41.3).
USE ATTN TO INTERRUPT.
PING: PING #1 RESPONSE TOOK 0.043 SECONDS. SUCCESSES SO FAR 1.
