SIP-Ping Utility Program for Windows

VOIP (Voice Over IP) systems use the SIP protocol. That protocol contains an OPTIONS command that is useful for pinging the VOIP system to make sure it is up and running. The SIP-Ping utility software is a simple command line application that can be used to run this ping command. This was inspired by Gravis' SIP_Ping Python program.

SIP-Ping has no dependencies and should run on any Windows system. It can give visual output, or run in a mode that makes it a compatible plugin with PA Server Monitor's Plugin Monitor, or perhaps even as a Nagios plugin.
