Original Press Release:

Pinger Network IP Tester

The Pinger Model 60 is a new handheld tester used for installing and maintaining computer Local Area Networks running the TCP/IP protocol. It's an ideal tool for quickly testing proper LAN operation after completing a Move, Add or Change (MAC).

The Pinger uses the powerful Ping function to verify connectivity, check transmitted and received data integrity, indicate network traffic loading by measuring Round Trip Time, notify of duplicate IP Address responses, provide the MAC address of an IP Address and warn user when the default gateway can not be located.

The Model 60 also identifies reversed polarity for improperly connected wire pairs and provides a Port Identification feature with selectable blink rates to identify which port on a hub or switch is connected to a wall outlet. Preprogramming IP addresses from different VLANs and then running the IP List function can quickly identify VLAN assignment of a hub/switch port or a wall outlet. Remote office support can also be provided by connecting the Pinger to the LAN at the remote office trouble ports and Pinging the unit over the Internet.
