Psiber Pinger Plus+ - network tester

The Pinger Plus+ is a handheld tester used for installing and maintaining computer Local Area Networks (LANs) running the TCP/IP protocol. The Pinger Plus+ uses the powerful PING function at either 10 or 100 mbps to verify connectivity, check transmitted and received data integrity, indicate network traffic loading by measuring Round Trip Time, provide the MAC address of an IP Address and warns when the default gateway cannot be located. The Pinger Plus+ can PING using variable packet sizes and up to 99 times consecutively. In addition, PING can be performed for a single or a range of IP addresses. The Pinger Plus+ 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 that a wall outlet is connected.



The Pinger Plus+ is the first handheld tester to provide gigabit over copper link detection. When connected to a hub, switch or NIC, the Pinger Plus+ displays the speed (10/100/1000Mbps) and duplex mode (half or full) capabilities of the equipment.



The Pinger Plus+ is an ideal tool for quickly testing proper LAN operation after completing a Move, Add or Change (MAC). Trouble calls are easily handled by verifying Link connection and running the comprehensive PING test. Resolve "I can not connect to the Internet" problems with the DHCP Client mode that ensures a DHCP Server is available and displays IP Address assignment. Remote office support can be provided by connecting the Pinger Plus+ to the LAN at the remote office.
