  2. From the Amazon Appliance Activation - Configuration main menu, enter the corresponding numeral to select Test Network Connectivity.

    If your gateway has already been activated, the connectivity test begins immediately. For gateways that have not yet been activated, you must specify the endpoint type and Amazon Web Services Region as described in the following steps.

  3. If your gateway is not yet activated, enter the corresponding numeral to select the endpoint type for your gateway.

  4. If you selected the public endpoint type, enter the corresponding numeral to select the Amazon Web Services Region that you want to test. For supported Amazon Web Services Regions and a list of Amazon service endpoints you can use with Storage Gateway, see Amazon Storage Gateway endpoints and quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

As the test progresses, each endpoint displays either [PASSED] or [FAILED], indicating the status of the connection as follows:
