You may test SIM card connection to a network and even if SIM card has opened data session using Ping.
There are 2 main ways to Ping Thing:
Ping Thing IP address via self-service console:
1. Login to the Monogoto portal.
2. Go to Things section of the portal.
3. Select a Thing from the list of seen Things in the portal.
4. Use scroll bar, to scroll down to IPs section showing networks and their APNs.
5. In IPs section, please find a Network line showing an IP address and then press on Ping button in the same line.
Please note that if in IPs section there are no networks showing an IP address, that means the SIM card has not opened a data session recently, thus Thing will not be possible to ping. Make sure that the used device is working correctly and that a correct APN is used inside device settings.
6. Inside a window that opens, please press on Ping button.
7. Check out the ping results.
