Troubleshooting Networks

Ping

5-5

3. Do one of the following:

• Select the IP address of the device from the list.

• Select Add New Device to display the Edit

screen. On this screen, supply the IP address of

the device then select Update.

NetTool pings the device and automatically adds its

address to a running list (up to 10) of recently pinged

devices. If there are more than 10 addresses in the

list, the oldest address is deleted to make room for

the most recent addition.

Pinging Multiple Devices

Ping Catalog lets you create groups of IP addresses that

reflect your network configurations. For example, you can

make a group of IP addresses that reflect your Marketing

group or Customer Support group. After you create a

group, you can simultaneously ping all of the devices in

the group.

To create the groups, you need to use NetTool Toolkit, the

PC-based software located on the CD-ROM that comes

with NetTool. See the online Help for the NetTool Toolkit

to learn how to set up and upload your groups of IP

addresses.

After your lists are uploaded, NetTool displays them in the

Ping Catalog under the group names you assigned.

To ping a group, do the following:

1. Select Ping Catalog from the Toolkit menu to display

the Ping Catalog screen.

2. Move the cursor to the desired catalog, as illustrated

in Figure 5-5, then press SELECT.

descriptions) appears to the left of the catalog’s

name.
