‘Ping Network Things’ has also been developed to enable the network status of sets of PCs or network devices (objects) to be monitored visually and quickly with a mobile Wi-Fi device (your phone).
‘Ping Network Things’ uses the ubiquitous ‘Ping’ command to check the network connectivity of each object in a particular room. If the object responds positively to the ‘ping’ then it’s corresponding grid location is coloured green. If the object responds negatively to the ‘ping’ then it’s corresponding grid location is coloured red.
Possible reasons for no response include:-
- Object not switched on (unplugged, power cable unattached, mains switched off etc.)
- Network cable unattached or Wi-Fi switched off/disabled.
- Object ‘crashed’.
- Wrong network name/IP address supplied
- Device hosting ‘Ping My Network Things’ is not connected to network
- etc

A room ping command will be issued to ping each object in the room.
