Ping
This adapter pings an IP address via the Internet Control Message Protocol. In doing so, the adapter sends ICMP ECHO REQUESTs or alternatively tries to establish a TCP connection on port 7. If previous connection requests fail and the port is set to a value other than 7, another TCP request is sent to the specified port. The adapter outputs an XML document containing the result of the echo (true or false).
