Device Manager communicates with the Passport Management Software using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Device Manager Properties window allows you to configure important communication parameters such as the polling interval, timeout, and retry count. You can set these parameters before you open a device to manage. You can also access the Properties window at any other time while Device Manager is running.
To access the Properties dialog box:

The table below describes the elements in the Properties dialog box.
