  2. Type either the IP Address or the Device Name of the device to be discovered.
  3. Click on the Ping icon near the Device Name / IP Address section to ping the device and check its availability.Know more

What is the function of 'ping'?

OpManager continuously monitors the availability of your entire network. It sends a ping to the monitored devices every 2 minutes and records its response. If there is no response for two consecutive pings, OpManager considers the device as unavailable. During discovery, the ping function is used to determine whether the device is reachable from the OpManager server. The number of pings and their time interval can be assigned depending on our business needs.
