The Pinger Plus 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. The PING test is used to verify connectivity, measure

round trip communications time, check data integrity, determine a MAC

address and search a stored list or a range of IP addresses. The Pinger Plus

provides a DHCP Client mode and a Port Identification function with

selectable blink rates to locate which port on a hub or switch that a wall outlet

is connected.

The Pinger Plus is designed for testing an Ethernet network that uses

the IP protocol. The unit can communicate directly with a hub, switch, router,

NIC or other network device that uses 10baseT or 100baseT. The Pinger

Plus will identify when it is connected to a 1000baseT device but it cannot

transmit/receive a PING at 1000baseT.

The IP address for the Pinger Plus is input from this screen. The unit

comes programmed with a default address of 192.168.1.42.

SUBNET MASK SETUP SCREENSUBNET MASK SETUP SCREEN

SUBNET MASK SETUP SCREEN

To Ping an IP address in a subnet different than the subnet of the

Pinger Plus, requires that the Subnet Mask be entered and “ON” and the

appropriate Gateway IP address has been entered. Mask “ON” and

OFF” is selected with the Up/Down Cursor key. A zero in the first field is an

invalid mask entry and the Pinger defaults to 255 when the mask is saved.

NOTE: Subnet Mask and Default Gateway IP address may be found by

going to a computer on the subnet where the Pinger Plus will be used, open

the Windows Control Panel, open the network icon, open the LAN icon,

select TCP/IP Protocol and then select properties.
