Setting the Device Manager properties
Device Manager communicates with a Device Manager switch using SNMP. The Device Manager Properties dialog box allows you to configure important communication parameters such as the polling interval, time out, and retry count. You can set these parameters before you open a device to manage. You can also access the Properties dialog box at any other time while Device Manager is running.
To open the Properties dialog box:
|
|
From the initial Device Manager window, choose Device > Properties. |
| The Properties dialog box opens. |
