1. Can Ping Assist Pro ping more than one device at a time?
Yes, the program can do it. You must add all your devices to the host list to ping them. You can also specify a ping interval for each one of your devices.
2. How many devices can the software ping?
Ping Assist has no limitation on the number of the devices that can be pinged, but many pingable devices will require powerful hardware resources. The optimum number of hosts is 150-200. You can use the trial version to test the program with your number of hosts and thus evaluate performance.
3. Ping Assist Pro sends only a test email, but do not send alarm email notifications.
1. Please verify that the email notification mode is not disabled in the general tab of the Main Window.
2.The Send alarm notifications option in Service properties must be selected.
3. The E-mail notification option in host properties must also be selected.
4.The smtp alerts using SLL to Gmail doesn't appear to be working properly, but no error messages are generated.
To use Gmail with Ping Assist, the SMTP port must be set to 587 in Ping Assist's SMTP preference panel.
5. Can Ping Assist Pro send SMS alerts?
You should be able to use a special SMS gateway mail service to send SMS alerts. Check with your mobile operator to see if they offer such а service.
6. How many can Ping Monitors work with one Ping Service?
Ping Assist has no limitation on the number of the Monitors that work with the Service. But we recommend to use no more than 10 Monitors. You can use the trial version to test the program with your number of Monitors. After you register Ping Assist, you can only use the application with up to the number of monitors for which your licence key is registered.
7. How long does Ping Assist Pro keep ping log, alarm log & statistics?
Ping Assist stores all logs for 30 days, older logs are automatically deleted.
8. The Monitor cannot connect to the Service when the Monitor starts. The Service and the Monitor are installed together on the same computer.
It is possible that there had been a failure and the Service did not work at that time. To start the Service again you can simply restart your computer or start the Service manually in the Computer Management section.
9. The Monitor cannot connect to the Service when the Monitor starts. The Service and the Monitor are installed on two different computers on the same local area network.
If you encounter problems connecting the Remote Monitor to the Service check in the Computer Management panel that the Service is running, then check the firewall settings on both computers.
10. I bought and registered the software but it keeps asking for the registration and the ping process stops.
It is possible that you have entered your registration code incorrectly. We recommend using Copy/Paste commands to enter the registration code. Please also check that you do not enter any extra spaces. If the registration is successful you will see the corresponding message on the “About program…” window.
