Pinging a Single Device

From the main menu select Toolkit then Ping to access NetTool’s ping function. You can ping one IP address or a set (Ping Catalog) of addresses that you define using NetTool Toolkit.

To ping a single device, select Add New Device.

Enter the address and press Select.

NetTool pings the device and adds it to a running list (up to 10) of recently pinged devices. The IP address pinged longest ago will drop off the list after the tenth address. If you need to ping any address again, simply highlight it and press Select.

Ping Catalog

The Ping Catalog function enables you to use lists of IP addresses grouped based on your network configuration. You create the grouping using NetTool Toolkit, the PC-based software that came with your purchase. You can keep lists of common groups of IP addresses (i.e., Marketing, Customer Support, First Floor, etc.). Check out the online help for NetTool Toolkit to learn how to set up and use the Ping List feature.
