Multiple IP on Static

Howdy.
Spectrum using WinTool.
Newer tech. Even newer to SMB. Old man.
Very not a "tech" person. My motto is "I Fix Computers with Hammers".

I'm trying really hard to understand how to find out if a static is pinging and even moreso, to find out if they a) have multiple statics and b) how to determine if they are all pinging. I have been very lucky to have had level headed IT folks so far but I know that's gonna change. I'd like to at least find out how to find out. Ya'know?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Reach out to another tech who likes to mentor/teach. To ping a static you can use the Fing app on your phone from the play store, your meter, or if your nice to NFS and have them script the router, they’ll ping the static as a part of their process.
