Ping Assist Pro
Continuous Monitoring of Devices on Your Network
As your network grows ever larger, you're going to find that every day brings another dropped resource. If you're lucky, it's just an offline printer or workstation. But if it's Monday (every week has at least one), it's more likely going to be a server or router that goes down, taking a large chunk of users down with it. Wouldn't it be great to find and fix network problems before the users come banging on your door about it? You can do it with Ping Assist Pro!
Ping Assist Pro is used by network administrators, webmasters, and Internet service providers to continuously monitor network devices. If, at any time, a host cannot be pinged, Ping Assist Pro will let you know in a variety of ways -- either by alarm sounds, system tray messages, automated email, or broadcast messages sent over the network! The software is completely customizable, so you can choose to be alerted via audible alarm if a server goes down, but via email if it's just a printer.
For admins that require strict recordkeeping, you'll be pleased with Ping Assist Pro's ability to retain alarm logs, ping logs, and ping statistics (stats are viewable in tabular or graphic form). There's also the option to remotely manage Ping Assist Pro, so you don't have to drag yourself into the office on a Saturday morning!
