Settings Menu
 
The Settings menu allows you to change the way MacPing operates. All settings except Pause will be preserved when you quit MacPing.

Beep When Drops Occur

To make it easier to notice that a packet has been dropped, choose Beep When Drops Occur. MacPing will beep the first time a device fails to reply to a probe packet. Clicking on the speaker icon in the window will also toggle the beep setting.

Ignore Non-Responders
Devices that have been turned off or that don’t respond make testing slower. Choose Ignore Non-Responders to cease probing devices after they fail to respond five times in a row. Choose Ignore Non-Responders again to select all devices again. Devices that are currently being ignored have a “◊” appended to the name and have no trace on the screen.

Self Send

A Macintosh computer will send packets to itself if the Self Send command is set. This is useful to see which AppleTalk NBP names are registered on the Macintosh running MacPing.

Number Format

MacPing can display numbers in three number bases: Octal, Decimal, or Hexadecimal. Choose one of the three to display these numbers in your preferred number base. The default choice is Decimal. 

Note: Time values, the Percent Dropped figures , and IP addresses are always displayed in decimal.
