The Pinger 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.
SUBNET MASK SETUP SCREEN
To Ping an IP address in a subnet different than the subnet of the Pinger, requires that the Subnet Mask be entered and “ON” and the appropriate Gateway IP address has been entered.

A zero in the first field is an invalid mask entry and the Pinger defaults to 255 when the mask is saved.
