![]() (I own a couple of class C ip ranges, so I have been using these for many years, in my work). ~]$ ssh is your IPV4 address,Īssuming you have configured your iPad with a static ip value. It appears the wifi transmit function is just shutdown, and response to "ping" is explicitly disabled.Īfter much research and experiment, I've determined that you can re-activate the iPad "ping" response - remotely - by sending it an SSH query. It worked fine, and is a very useful program.īut, if you set the iPad aside, after about 5 minutes, it would time out. So I downloaded the "inetutils" package from Cydia source Telesphoreo, and that provide a ping.exe, which could be used in console mode on the iPad. But I could not "ping" out from the iPad to other machines since there was no ping.exe available, even after the jailbreak (this contrasts to Blackberry Playbooks, which had a "ping" utility, and would also respond to pings, even if "asleep"). Initial install of the jailbreak code did not change this behaviour. ![]() This ping-response was useful for diagnostic purposes. The original behaviour of the iPad 1, if configured with static ip values, meant that if was on, and the wifi was enabled, it would respond to a "ping", even if the screen was "asleep". 1, running iOS 5.1.1, using Redsn0w, the initial install of the code that provides root access does not include standard inetutils. Maybe a security feature? If so, can I back out the network stuff, and just have ssh access, and have it not timeout? I want to to be "alive" all the time. I could, before I installed the networking utilities. If I set the iPad down, after a few minutes, I cannot ping it from any machine on my LAN. This is new behaviour, since the Cydia "inetutils" install. Really fine stuff, but I notice now that the iPad network access times out quickly. This makes an old tablet very, very useful. But there was no "ping" on the basic jailbreak version, so I installed "inetutils", which provides all the GNU inet stuff (ping, ftp, inetd, rlogin, telnet) and then found "arp iconfig netstat route traceroute" in Network Commands. Installed DOSbox (using b file), and it works fine. Installed OpenSSH, and I can use Putty on Windows or SSH on Linux to login to my iPad, and of course, pscp or scp to migrate files to/from using Windows or Linux. I have done a jailbreak on old iPad 1, using redsn0w.
