SNMP options
Here you can set the time intervals for management station's SNMP communication to the
computers to be monitored.
SNMP (an acronym of "Simple Network Management Protocol") controls communication
between the monitored devices and the monitoring station.
Select the menu item "Tools > SNMP...". The dialog window "SNMP settings..." opens, in
which you will find the following two groups:
•
"Time response" group:
–
In the "Feedback interval" window enter the time interval in which the monitoring data
should be sent to the management station.
–
You can specify a timeout for the connection attempt in the "Timeout" window.
–
The "Redial attempts" window shows the number of attempts permitted to establish a
connection.
•
"Connection" group:
–
In the "Community" window you can set the name of the SNMP community to which a
connection is to be made.
