4 In the Add/Edit Remote Poll dialog box, enter the IP or IPX address of the device that you want the hub to poll.

5 Choose the rate at which the device is to be polled.

If the device is critical to the performance of your network, select a frequent rate. If the device is not important or on a remote network you can select a less frequent rate.

6 Select whether polling of this device is to be enabled or disabled.

You can have up to 10 polling session entries for the hub (poll 10 different devices), all of which can be enabled. If you do not want to poll a device now but want to keep its information for future use, you can

simply disable it by selecting Disable.
