Device Manager sends a GetRequest to the SNMP agent at predefined polling
intervals to ensure that it is still connected to the device. If a shorter or longer
interval is required adjust the value in the Polling Interval field accordingly.
The minimum interval is 5 seconds and the maximum is 3600 seconds (1 hour). The
default is 30 seconds.
Retry
Configures the SNMP timeout and the number of retries.
Timeout
The number of seconds Device Manager waits before it determines that the
device is not responding. The default is 5 seconds.
Retry times
The number of times Device Manager sends SNMP messages to the agent before
giving up. The default is 2 retries.
Enable periodic device polling
To regularly check the hardware configuration of hot-swappable devices, check this
box. When this is checked, Device Manager checks the hardware configuration at
every polling interval. The Panel window shows any hardware configuration changes
it finds.
If the target device is not hot-swappable, or if you do not expect any hardware
configuration changes, do not check this box. Polling the hardware configuration may
reduce performance.
Note - Device Manager always checks the latest hardware configuration of the target
device when initiating connection. To check the configuration on demand after the
session is established, select View > Refresh.
Current status
Indicates whether or not Device Manager is currently connected to a target device
and whether or not Trap operations are currently enabled.
5.1.2 Reopen
This command can be used to reconnect to a recently accessed device.
5.1.3 Close
Closes the SNMP session with the device and closes the Panel window. To connect to
another device, select File > Open.
