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.
