5-20 CHAPTER 5: ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT USING VT100

The OfficeConnect Hub 8/TPM must have an IP or IPX address configured for it, to enable it to receive responses from the device it is polling.

Target Address Enter the IP or IPX address of the device to poll.

If there are multiple instances of the Remote Poll screen, they share the same Target Address. This may happen if there are multiple Telnet sessions, or a console port session and a Telnet session. The last address entered is the address that is polled.

Round Trip Time This is the interval in milliseconds between the time the last frame was sent to the target device and the time a response was received by the hub. If there is no response within a few seconds, no reply is shown. Also displayed is the number of router hops and, if set, the time-to-live for the frame.

The hub can be configured to automatically poll several devices at regular intervals, and report back to an IP/IPX-based network management application if there is no response.

The Status screen, as shown in Figure 5-13, shows information about the hub.
