 User Guide

     The Pinger Plus 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.

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 Pinger Plus can be configured by connecting it to the network and

using either Internet Explorer (6.0 or later) or Netscape (6.0 or later). To
access the Pinger Plus setup page, enter the Pinger IP address (shown in
the Pinger IP Address setup screen) in the browser URL window. All setup
features can be configured from the browser. The User Guide can also be
displayed.

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 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.
G

The IP address for the default Gateway (typically a router or a server) is

input from this screen.
PINGER MA

The Pinger Plus MAC address is displayed in this screen. The MAC for

each Pinger is unique and can not be changed. See Note in DHCP.
PROFILE SETUP SCREEN

A profile consists of a Profile name, Pinger Plus IP address, Subnet

Mask on or off, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address and a list of one to eight
destination IP addresses. One of the eight Profiles is selected using the Up/
Down cursor, the Profile name and Pinger Plus IP address is entered and the
Next function key is pressed. The Subnet Mask is entered and turned on or
off and the Next fuction key is pressed. The Gateway address is entered and
the Next function key is pressed. From one to eight destination IP addresses
are entered and then the Save function key is pressed.
DEF

A default profile can be designated to be used initially when the Pinger

Plus is powered on.
PO

The Pinger Plus will automatically turn off after the time selected in the

Power Down Setup screen. Settings available are five minutes, fifteen
minutes, thirty minutes and on (must be turned off manually). Press the
SAVE function key to store the selected setting.
P

A password is required to configure the Pinger Plus from a web browser

or update the firmware. The password protects against a third party making
unauthorized changes to the unit when it is connected to a network. The
default password is 12345678. It is recommended that the default password
be changed prior to initial operation.
PING COUNT SETUP SCREEN

The Pinger Plus can be set to PING an IP address from 1 to 99 times or

continuously. Pressing the Up/Down cursor key scrolls the number of times to
PING from 1 to 99. The Continuous PING setting is shown by scrolling down
from “1” or up from “99”. Multiple PINGs are not available for Lists, Profiles or
Ranges.
PING P

The PING packet size has six settings from 50 to 1400 bytes. The time

the Pinger Plus waits for a PING or DHCP response before displaying a No
Response notice can be set from 1 to 40 seconds in one second increments.
