+ | NOTE that the Network Presence plugin is deprecated in favor of the new [[supported_hardware:ping|Ping Plugin]]. The new plugin does not yet have the ability to ping a device by it’s MAC address. If that is a function that you still need please let me know and I’ll bump it up the priorities list. | ||

The network presence interface will regularly scan the ARP table of the XTension machine and attempt to ping every device listed. It will automatically send online/offline commands for every MAC address on the local network. | The network presence interface will regularly scan the ARP table of the XTension machine and attempt to ping every device listed.
