2. Click Monitor New Server.
3. Verify that Enable ping monitoring for this server (default) is selected.
4. Configure the following settings:

   Ping Monitoring Setting Description IP address/hostname IP address or host name of the IT equipment that you want to monitor. Number of successful pings to enable feature Number of successful pings required to declare that the monitored equipment is Reachable. Valid range is 0 to 200. Wait time after successful ping Wait time before sending the next ping if the previous ping was successfully responded. Valid range is 5 to 600 (seconds). Wait time after unsuccessful ping Wait time before sending the next ping if the previous ping was not responded. Valid range is 3 to 600 (seconds). Number of consecutive unsuccessful pings for failure Number of consecutive pings without any response before the monitored equipment is declared Unreachable. Valid range is 1 to 100. Wait time before resuming pinging after failure The wait time before the HPDU resumes pinging after the monitored equipment is declared Unreachable. Valid range is 1 to 1200 (seconds). Number of consecutive failures before disabling feature (0 = unlimited) Number of times the monitored equipment is declared Unreachable consecutively before the HPDU disables the ping monitoring feature for it and shows Waiting for reliable connection. Valid range is 0 to 100.

5. Click Create.
6. To add more IT devices, repeat Steps 1-5.

   Note -  At the beginning of ping monitoring the server, the status of the added IT equipment shows Waiting for reliable connection, which means the requested number of consecutive successful or unsuccessful pings is not reached before the HPDU can declare that the monitored device is reachable or unreachable.
