Network Services <PING 192.168.1.99> command?

[wnaegle]

I need to continually verify a non-TRI-PLC device is connected to the network.
Is there a way to ping another non-TRI-PLC device on the network?
The devices I need to ping do not have a published TCP connection.

For example, is there a Network Services command
PRINT #4 "<PING 192.168.1.99>"

Sorry the TRi PLC currently do not send PING command to another device.

However, if the device has an open TCP port you can try to make a connection to the TCP port and check if connection is successful by examining the STATUS(3).  You can then disconnect from the device after making an initial connection.
