Pinging Mobile Devices<br />
You can ping devices that are currently in range and running the <strong>Avalanche</strong><br />
Enabler. This is not an ICMP‐level ping, but rather an application‐level status<br />
check. This feature indicates whether the mobile device is active or not.<br />
To ping a mobile device:<br />
1 From the Mobile Device Inventory tab, right‐click the device you want to<br />
view and click Mobile Device Details.<br />
2 Click the Device Control tab.<br />
3 Double‐click the Ping Device icon.<br />
The Status field in the Activity region displays the status of the ping<br />
request.<br />
NOTE You can also ping the device from the Mobile Device Inventory tab by<br />
right‐clicking the mobile device and selecting Ping Device.<br />
Sending Messages<br />
You can send a text‐based message to a device currently in range and running<br />
the <strong>Avalanche</strong> Enabler.<br />

view and click Mobile Device Details.<br />
2 Click the Device Control tab.<br />
