Setting Map Polling Properties
You can set the polling properties for each parent network map and subnet map.
Open the map window for the network map. Right-click an empty area of the map to display the right mouse menu and then select Properties. Click General.
Title. This title is used to identify a network map on the Map Window and when accessed from a web browser. You should be careful about changing the Title because it is also used to report information in the Event and Statistics logs. Polling statistics are saved in the [title.wui] file. The Status, Dependencies, Statistics, and Notifications Windows display information per map and use the Title.
Poll Frequency. This is the number of seconds between the start of a poll of the map. You can enter a value in the range 10 through 3600. The status line of each Map Window displays a timer that counts down from this number to zero before starting each poll. The timer continues to count down during polls: if the previous poll is not complete when the timer reaches zero, a new poll is not started.
Default timeout. This is the number of seconds to wait for a response from a polled device. This default value is assigned to new devices when they are added to the map.
Subnet Settings. The main purpose of these settings is to set a Parent Map for the current map. If you created the map using SmartScan, then each subnet map will already have an entry for the Parent map. To change the Parent map, select any of the maps shown in the list box. This list shows all open maps.
To view a subnet's parent map, right-click on the map, and select View parent map, or from the View menu, select Parent map.
This dialog box also shows the Network and Netmask settings for the network segment that this subnet map represents. These settings provide the default address settings for the Scan tool, if it is started when this map is active.
Network. Shows the starting IP address for this network segment.
Netmask. Shows the netmask for this network segment. The netmask defines how to read the IP address to identify subnets and devices.
