First Response Tool that replaces multiple testers and reduces troubleshooting time.
The PingerPro provides a powerful combination of physical layer tools to troubleshoot copper links and LAN tools to identify and repair a wide range of network problems
Tests are based on user configurable profiles which can be stored in advance and selected for different job sites or requirements. All results can be saved internally and exported to the PingerPro Tools application for archiving and report generation.
Capabilities that every network specialist needs
One button AutoTest conducts a user defined set of tests. AutoTest gets answers fast - quickly provide connectivity, device, port and security information you require to solve a majority of the problems found in networks.
Link Test. Check if a port is operational and display speed and duplex information to verify compatibility with connected equipment. Verify connection at 10/100/1000BaseT over copper Tests include Link speed and duplex mode (actual and advertised) for copper
Ping Test. Whether you have a SOHO, SMB, or Enterprise network, you can verify connectivity with a Ping test that is configured for your specific requirements. Send a single a burst or a continuous Ping. The payload size can be adjusted from 56 bytes to 1516 bytes as well as the interval between pings and the timeout duration for the PING Response. A VLAN Tag can be added to the packet and the Priority Number can be specified. Ping a single, a group or a range of IP addresses. Even the entire subnet can be selected. Ping Responses can show IP addresses available for assignment, round trip time for measuring traffic loading MAC ID to identify device manufacturer, packet loss, domain names and other important network information.
MAC Cloning (Network Device Emulation). Clone and troubleshoot a problem device to see if the issue is with the device or the network. For example, clone and troubleshoot a printer on any troubling networked device.
User defined Profiles. With up to 10 saved profiles, the PingerPro allows you to create and save network specific information to minimize set up time on site.
LLDP/CDP Protocol Support (Information varies by manufacturer and switch model) The PingerPro uses IEEE Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Cisco® Protocol (CDP) to display port speed, duplex and number. Display critical switch information including: Switch name and model, IP address, Port, slot, VLAN and software revision. View additional information designated by the Manufacturer. Identify incompatible switches that slow or bog down network efficiency.
Trace Route. The Trace Route diagnostic is performed by selecting one of the PING results. Trace Route provides a method for viewing the path that packets travel between two devices. Each hop is shown with the transit time for the hop. This information is used to identify low bandwidth links or heavily congested routers that can cause poor network response times.
IPv6 Capable. The PingerPro provides important IPv6 protocol compatibility testing needed as governments, businesses and other organizations make the switch to the new era of the Internet. The IPv6 test capability simplifies the transition and verifies that your network supports IPv6 traffic.
Onboard help and easy upgrades
Both the User and Quick Start guides can be viewed on the Home screen so that help using the PingerPro is always available.
Users can upgrade the PingerPro software by downloading new revisions from the Psiber website and connecting the unit to a USB port on a computer. Updates can be completed in minutes.

Every detail has been considered.
It is a difficult design challenge to make a device so easy to use without sacrificing features or performance. The fact that the PingerPro achieves this goal is a significant engineering accomplishment. Every detail and every material, particularly the ergonomic enclosure, has been meticulously considered and refined. The PingerPro is made with a level of precision you would expect from a finely crafted measuring instrument.
As a result, the PingerPro provides durability for everyday use, protection under the toughest job site conditions and convenience performing any task.
Hand-held or hands-free.
The PingerPro design supports testing on the run or conducting long duration tests. The fold-out stand allows hands-free placement of the unit with a proper viewing angle. The integrated cable organizer allows you to contain cables for enhanced stability or hang from nearby cables when no flat surfaces are nearby. The hinged cover protects the connectors between jobs.
An integrated over-molded protective bumper is designed to absorb accidental impacts and provide comfortable handling even when extended use is required. Specifically molded in Psiber high visibility red so you don't accidentally leave it behind.
A lanyard is included that attaches to pins embedded on the sides of the unit. The lanyard allows the PingerPro to be carried over the shoulder or hung from a hook while conducting tests. The mini USB port is used for both battery charging and test result downloading via the USB port on a PC.
The protective carrying case/organizer is custom designed to protect the PingerPro and store two SFP modules, terminator and stylus. Also included is an AC adapter with a USB connection interface and a Type-A to Mini-B USB cable. This allows the Pinger Pro to be charged from either the AC adapter or a powered USB port on a PC or other device.
Touch Screen Interface
The 2.8 inch diagonal LC display with integrated touch panel and 256 color resolution rovidesa compact and versatile interface for conducting and archiving tests. Contrast and color coding are use so users will easily identif results even in compromised visibility.
A full Qwerty keyboard screen allows you to name custom configurations and test results the way you want them. The intuitive operation allows you to move through set up and all operations the way you would expect. A one touch save feature quickly saves test results for recall, review and down load to the PingerPro Tools app.
Exceptional Engineering and Design
Dedicated to the best possible user experience, the PingerPro provides audio feedback for test status and alerts. The user can assign specific volume adjustable audio streams for events such as startup, test failures, warnings and alerts. These audio notifications ensure that the user is always aware of the test status.
The PingerPro has 1GB of DDR3 memory to store hundreds of test results. Capturing test data on a network can be a security concern. The unit addresses this concern with a "Secure Delete" feature that uses an NSA type delete to ensure data cannot be recovered.
Long battery life.
The PingerPro has excellent battery life so you can easily test for an entire day without recharging. The heavy duty Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack provides up to 9 hours of work time and can be recharged hundreds of times.
Configurable auto test.
Users can define the Auto Test button to include a single test or a series of tests to match their test requirements. It has never been easier to perform tests, find problems, get solutions and document results.
All-new design
Keep out dust and accidentally damaging the business end. Everything is designed for simplicity and long lasting use. In fact, once you use the PingerPro, you're never satisfied with anything less
