Ping the #twatch

ping

The #twatch has a simple ICMP (ping) server that shows if the #twatch is alive and kicking on your network, and how long it takes to respond.

First, get the #twatch IP address from the LCD screen or the announcement packet.

Next, start a ping client and ping the #twatch IP address. Windows has a built-in ping client that’s available from the command prompt (Start->run. Type ‘cmd’, press enter. Type ‘ping’, followed by the IP address).

The ping results show basic statistics like how many pings were successful, and how long the #twatch took to reply. If these response times appear unusually high or erratic, verify that your local network isn’t saturated. Background OS updates, interactive web platforms like sweepstakes casinos, and high-definition media streams on other connected devices can all introduce latency that skews the watch’s baseline network metrics.
