How to Ping Your Network From an iPhone (8 Steps)

Make sure that your iPhone is connected to the network you want to scan via WiFi.
Go to the App Store on your iPhone and download the 'Network Ping Lite' application. It is a free app as of this writing.
Open the application and you will see four choices: Ping, Ping Subnet Traceroute, and Telnet. For this article we'll focus on the functions related to pinging.
Choose 'Ping' to ping a specific device.
Enter the DNS name (google.com) or IP address of the specific device you would like to ping and hit 'Start.' Your iPhone will now send out four ICMP packets and will tell you the outcome in the 'Output' section.
Note: You can do a continuous ping by flipping the 'Ping Forever' switch at the bottom.
Choose the 'Ping Subnet' icon to ping an entire subnet.
By default, the app should pick up the subnet that your iPhone is already on. You can change it to check a different subnet or range of IP addresses. (Note: It can only check Class C network subnets.) You can adjust the 'Ping Delay' which is the amount of time that the app will wait for a reply from the device before it declares it failed.
Hit 'Start' and the scan will begin. You'll see a table of all the possible Class C IP addresses for that subnet and the app will change the color of each as it scans to let you know which ones replied. Black = no reply. Green = Received reply. Yellow = last request failed. Red = stopped giving answer. The scan will take several minutes to complete, so be patient.

How to Use an iPad as a Writing Tool

Dock the iPad on to the add-on external keyboard for typing articles, press releases, reports, and other documents. The keyboard has an easy to use port and the iPad sits right on top.
Use the Pages word processing program to create, edit, save, and print documents. Files can be saved to and printed from the iPad. This word processing program is a full featured program with cut, copy, paste and formatting capabilities.
Backup the files created on the iPad daily by emailing files to a business or personal email to transfer to another computer or thumb drive. The iPad lacks USB ports and other connectivity to other computers or other external storage devices , making emailing files to other computers the fastest and most secure way to transfer files.
Use the PrintCentral program to print files. The iPad lacks a standard print function so users need to download a print management app such as PrintCentral to be able to print documents, photos, or Web content from the iPad.
Use the Calendar program to manage a writing schedule, interview dates, media calendars, deadlines, and other events.
Create to-do lists and reminder post-its that can be displayed on the opening screen of the iPad. Use the Corkit program to create and save post-it notes as a jpg file. Use the Settings app on the iPad desktop to change the wallpaper daily to put up the new post-it screen.
Use the Safari app to conduct on-line research to include in press releases or articles.
Create a photo slide-show of writing clips and photography samples to quickly show potential clients samples of your work. Public relations writers can scan printed writing clips, press releases or other promotional materials to PDF or JPG. files and save to a desktop or laptop computer that has a copy of iTunes downloaded to it. Sync the iPad with iTunes on the desktop computer to transfer scanned files and photos to the iPad.
Use the Evernote app to enter and manage public relations and writing projects. You can enter URLs from your Internet research, photos, graphics, and many other elements that belong to a particular writing project into individual notebook like folders. This program will also sync to a regular computer so that all of the project files can be transferred for backup purposes to another storage device.
