PING, “Dupe IP Error” is displayed indicating a duplicate IP address is

present on the network. If no PING response is received within ten

seconds, “No Response” is displayed. When the PINGed IP address is

in a different subnet than the Pinger IP address, the unit first attempts to

locate the default gateway. If the gateway does not respond, the Pinger

displays a “No Gateway Found” message indicating either the gateway

is not functioning properly or an incorrect gateway IP address was

entered. When a gateway is located, a “Gateway Found” message is

displayed and the PING test continues as described above. When a

PING response is received from another subnet, the MAC address of the

Gateway is shown (GW MAC) when the Info key is pressed.

Note: When the IP address of the device being PINGed is in the same

subnet/VLAN as the IP address of the Pinger, the Subnet Mask can be

“ON” or “OFF” and a Gateway IP address is not required. When the IP

address is in a different subnet/VLAN, the Subnet Mask must be “ON”

with the mask entered and the IP address of the Gateway must be

entered. (See Subnet Mask Setup and Gateway Setup)

IP LIST SCREEN

When “List” is selected and the PING function key is pressed, each

IP address stored in the IP List (see IP List Setup) is PINGed in turn.

The same “Waiting” and “No Response” messages are displayed as

described above.

After completing the PING of the last stored IP address, the IP List

Reponse screen is presented.

IP LIST RESPONSE SCREEN

The IP List Response screen shows the results of the PING to each of

the stored IP addresses.

The Up/Down cursor key is used to scroll through each IP address with

Round Trip Time, Data status and MAC address presented for IP ad-

dresses that are found or “No Response” for IP addresses that did not

respond within ten seconds. Times that are less than one second are

shown in milli-seconds (ms).

IP RESPONDER MODE

The Pinger will respond to a PING request that is sent to the unit’s

IP address. When the unit is in the LINK Screen showing speed/polarity,

a PING to the Pinger IP address presents the PING Received screen.

The Ping Received screen shows the IP and MAC addresses of

the PING source. The data packet in the PING request is limited to no

more than 128 bytes or else the request will be discarded by the Pinger.
