482CHAPTER A: CHANGING 3WXM PREFERENCES

Changing Network	By default, 3WXM checks for configuration changes, events, and status
Synchronization	changes on WX switches. You can configure checking (also called polling) for
Options	configuration changes in the network made with the CLI, Web Manager, or
	another instance of 3WXM.
	If you do not enable this option, you still can manually synchronize
	3WXM with WX switches using the Devices tab. (Select the Devices
	option from the toolbar in the main 3WXM window. See “Synchronizing
	Local and Network Changes” on page 350.)

1Select Tools > Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears.

2Click the Network tab.

3To set the amount of time that 3WXM waits for a connection to be established to a WX before trying to connect again, specify the timeout (1 to 30 seconds) in the Connect Timeout box. The default is 5 seconds.

4To set the number of times (0 to 5) 3WXM tries to reconnect to the WX after the original attempt, specify the value in the Retry Count box. The default is 3 times.

For example, if the retry count is 3, 3WXM attempts to establish a connection to a WX four times. If you specify 0, 3WXM does not attempt to establish a connection if the first attempt is unsuccessful.
