You can do it in a two ways:

  1. Just add device you wish to poll as a node. If node doesn't have neither NetXMS agent nor SNMP agent, NetXMS server will use ICMP ping to determine is it responding or not and change status accordingly.

  2. Load PING subagent on any managed node, and use any of ICMP.xxx parameters to send ICMP pings. In this case, you can monitor not only reachable/unreachable status, but also ping response times. You can find additional information about PING subagent here: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/ping_subagent.shtml.
