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. The PING test is used to verify connectivity,
measure round trip communications time, check data integrity, determine
a MAC address, identify duplicate IP addresses and search for up to
eight stored IP addresses. The Pinger provides a DHCP Client emulation
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.
NETWORK COMPATIBILITY
The Pinger 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 a 10/100Mbps
(Fast Ethernet) device set for 10baseT or Auto-negotiation operation. The
Pinger will identify when it is connected to a 100baseT only device but it
cannot transmit or receive a PING. When a 100baseT connection is
identified, locate a different port or device on the network that is
configured for 10baseT or Auto-negotiation to run the Pinger tests.
