You can ping devices that are currently in range and running the Avalanche Enabler. This is not an ICMP-level ping, but rather an application-level status check. This feature indicates whether the mobile device is active or not.
You can also ping all the mobile devices in a group location simultaneously if the devices are in range and running the Avalanche Enabler.
To ping a mobile device:
1 | From the Mobile Device Inventory tab, right-click the device you want to view and click Mobile Device Details. |
2 | Click the Device Control tab. |
3 | Double-click the Ping Device icon. |
The Status field in the Activity area displays the status of the ping request.
Note: You can also ping the device from the Mobile Device Inventory tab by right-clicking the mobile device and selecting Ping Device.
To ping mobile devices in a group location:
1 | Right-click the group location from the Navigation Window. |
2 | Select Ping Mobile Devices from the context menu. |
The Recent Activity column in the Mobile Device Inventory reports the status of the ping for each device in the group.
