How You Determine the Time Required to Ping a Class B Network

To determine how long it will take to ping an entire class B network, multiply the following values together:

• Ping timeout value (400 milliseconds)
• Number of pings per device (set during Discovery setup--3 is the default)
• Number of subnets (255)
• Number of devices per subnet (255)

For example, 400 times 3 times 255 times 255 equals 78,030,000 milliseconds.
