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 Network.

Click General to see the general properties of this map.

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 starts 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.
