Ping

INTRODUCTION

This component allows you to ping a specific IP address on your local network. If the ping doesn’t return, this component, will change the state of a switch accordingly.

USE CASES

• If the device you are pinging disconnects from the network the server will send an Email.

COMPONENT PROPERTIES

Disable: Link a switch component to be able to Enable or Disable the ping;

IP: Insert here the IP address of the device you want to ping;

Check Interval [s]: This setting declares the polling time the server uses to send the ping request to the device;

Timeout [s]: Timeout time that the server will wait if the ping request is bad;

Result: The linked component: Switch, Color info or a Text info will represents the result of the ongoing ping. If the ping is not successful, the linked components will change state.
