TM PINGER NETWORK IP TESTER USERS GUIDE
BOX CONTENTS _ Pinger Network IP Tester _ AC Adapter _ Four AA Alkaline Batteries _ User Guide BATTERY The Pinger operates on four AA alkaline batteries. Remove the battery cover at the back of the unit and insert the batteries with the orientation as shown. Battery polarity is marked inside the battery well for reference. TECHNICAL OVERVIEW The Pinger Network IP Tester uses the PING function to send a data packet to another IP address on a network or respond to a PING sent to its own IP address.
OPERATION To test a hub or switch, connect a patch cable from the RJ-45 port on the equipment to the RJ-45 jack marked LAN on the Pinger. To test a NIC or most routers, connect a patch cable to the RJ-45 jack marked NIC on the Pinger. LINK SCREEN Turn on the Pinger by pressing the PWR button. The unit scans the RJ-45 connections searching for Link signals. If no Link signals are found, a No Link message is displayed and a REPEAT function is provided to rerun the search for a Link Partner.
PING, Dupe IP Error is displayed indicating a duplicate IP address is present on the network. If no PING response is received within ten seconds, No Response is displayed. When the PINGed IP address is in a different subnet than the Pinger IP address, the unit first attempts to locate the default gateway. If the gateway does not respond, the Pinger displays a No Gateway Found message indicating either the gateway is not functioning properly or an incorrect gateway IP address was entered.
DHCP SCREEN Pressing the DHCP function key in the Link Screen presents the DHCP Screen and begins the DHCP client-server test. Note: The MAC Address of the Pinger may have to be added to the Access List of the Default Gateway for the Pinger messages to be accepted - see your System Administrator for Gateway requirements. The Pinger transmits a Discover message to locate a DHCP server.
PORT ID SCREEN Pressing the PortID function key in the Link Screen presents the Port ID Screen. As soon as this screen appears, the Pinger begins transmitting a pattern of Link signals that will cause the hub,switch or NIC Link LED to blink or stay on continuously. Identifying the specific port a wall outlet/PC is connected to can aid in diagnosing the cause of failed PING tests.
The information is retained even if the unit is turned off or the batteries are removed. To remove an entry from the list, press the right cursor key to select the entry and then press the star key. A Delete Entry message is displayed and pressing the SAVE function key clears the selected name and IP Address. PINGER IP SETUP SCREEN The IP address for the Pinger is input from this screen. The Pinger comes programmed with a default address of 192.168.42.1.
POWER Duration - The Pinger will typically provide 10-12 hours of operation from a set of four AA alkaline batteries. An AC adapter is also provided which will power the unit but does not recharge the batteries. Auto Power Down - The Pinger will automatically turn off after the time selected in the Power Down Setup screen or will run continuously until manually turned off when ON is selected for Power Down.
