Psiber Data Systems NETWORK IP TESTER - Manual (Page 3)

OPERATION
To test a hub or switch, connect a patch cable from the RJ-45 port
on the equipment to the RJ-45 jack marked “LAN” on the Pinger. To test
a NIC or most routers, connect a patch cable to the RJ-45 jack marked
“NIC” on the Pinger.
LINK SCREEN
Turn on the Pinger by pressing the “PWR” button. The unit scans
the RJ-45 connections searching for Link signals.
If no Link signals are found, a “No Link” message is displayed and
a REPEAT function is provided to rerun the search for a Link Partner.
When proper Link signals are found, the Pinger displays the Link speed,
normal or reversed polarity of the connection and enables the PING,
DHCP and PortID function keys. Disconnecting the Pinger will cause the
unit to immediately restart the search for Link signals.
Note: the Pinger is not compatible with equipment set for 100baseT only
operation. The Pinger displays a “100baseT” message when this type
of connection is detected but can not run any of the tests.
IP PING SCREEN
Pressing the PING function key in the Link Screen presents the IP
PING Screen.
The Up/Down cursor key is used to select: 1) enter and PING a new IP
address 2) PING one of eight preprogrammed IP addresses (see IP List
Setup) or 3) sequentially PING all of the one to eight preprogrammed IP
addresses.
When “Enter IP” (See Data Entry) or one of the eight
preprogrammed IP addresses are selected, pressing the PING function
key transmits the PING packet and “Waiting” is displayed until a
response is received. When the PINGed IP address is in the same
subnet as the Pinger IP address and the PING response is received, the
Round Trip Time is displayed and the packet is checked to see if the
received data is identical to the transmitted data (Data:Good) or if there
has been data corruption (Data:Bad).
The MAC address of the PINGed IP address is displayed by pressing
the INFO function key. When more than one response is received from a
