Saves carrying a laptop, March 13, 2010
This review is from: Cables To Go 29431 Psiber Pinger Plus Network IP Tester (Blue) (Personal Computers)
I bought mine (used) mainly to test for live drops, as I am tired of schlepping a laptop.
When powered on, it comes up with the basic info I need. I have have tested the ping, and it works fine, but have not had occasion to do more with it. I especially like the idea of storing and naming ip addresses, and the rest of the functions look to be very useful when something breaks.
Very good key feel, good visible screen, seems to be solidly constructed. Uses 4 AA, so I can use rechargeables.
The included cords are only a few inches long (why?), so I will be using a longer patch cord.
Good product!

Essential for any network engineer, February 8, 2012
This review is from: Cables To Go 29431 Psiber Pinger Plus Network IP Tester (Blue) (Personal Computers)
My organization bought a bunch of these for each engineer about 6 years ago. They are awesome tools for testing to see if a data jack is live on a network, autnegotiation speeds detection, ping. It's a somewhat basic tool. However, it's worth every dollar you pay for the hassles you avoid in troubleshooting. Small and easy to tote. After all these years, mine still runs perfect. Battery consumption is a bit high.
