TCP Port Ping

PingTool offers you several options for checking TCP ports for accessibility. The tool is able to display the availibility in a GUI or via command line. Colloquially, this is often referred to as "TCP Ping" or "TCP Port Ping", although these terms are not entirely correct.

TCP port ping via the GUI (graphical user interface)

Since PingTool version 4.0, TCP ports can be checked directly via the GUI. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Click on the plus sign (+) to add an object. Alternatively, you can also press CTRL-+.
2. Select "Add single object" and enter an object name - a host name or an IP address.
3. Enter a TCP port number or choose it from the selection on the right.
4. Add the object with OK.

TCP port ping via the command line

The popular command line tool PortCheck is integrated into PingTool. It can be used to continuously check TCP ports, display the result in color, generate alarm actions and much more.

Option 1: Right mouse button --> PortCheck on object(s)

1. In PingTool, select the objects on which you want to perform a PortCheck.
2. Right-click on it and select "PortCheck on object(s)".
3. Select the TCP port(s), make further settings and click OK.

Option 2: Right mouse button --> PortCheck on object(s) - important ports

1. In PingTool, select the objects on which you want to perform a PortCheck.
2. Right-click on it and select "PortCheck on object(s) - important ports".

Via "Right mouse button --> PortCheck on object(s)" you can determine the ports that are important for you.

Option 3: Command line

1. Click on the TCP symbol in the upper area.
2. Enter the host name and TCP port number.
