Hi,  
  
 I have a SM module with NAT. I don’t know if there are any way to ping the public IP address. If I configure the public IP in the PC and disable it in the SM I can ping the public address, but when I enable NAT in the SM I can only ping the RF IP address.  
  
 Any suggestion ?  
  
Thanks
