Using the Stand-alone Launcher
Adding Devices to the Launcher Database 4-17
Polling Rate (sec)
Displays the interval at which the Stand-alone Launcher will poll the
discovered devices once they are added to the Launcher database.
You can change the polling interval from this Þeld; the default polling
rate is 600 seconds. See Changing the Polling Rate, page 4-23, for
more information.
Maximum Outstanding Requests
Displays the maximum number of outstanding requests that can be
present at any one time during the discover process; this value
determines the maximum number of devices that can be queried by
the discover tool at any one time. The higher you set this value, the
more quickly the discover may take place, but your network load will
also increase considerably. You can set this Þeld to 16, 32, 64, 128 or
256 requests; the default is 16 requests.
Progress
Displays the total number of IP addresses within the IP range(s)
selected for the current discovery process (Total), the number of IPs
which have already been queried (Visited), and the number of
devices which have been discovered and added to the database
(Added). The Total Þeld will update as IP ranges are selected and
de-selected; the Visited and Added Þelds will update as discovery
progresses.
Adding and Deleting SNMP Community Names
The Þrst time you use the Discover tool, the SNMP Community
Names list box will be empty. To add community names to the list:
1. Type a community name in the Community Name text field.
2. Press Return or click on Add. The community name will be
added to the community names database available for the
discover process and will be displayed in the list box each time
you open the Discover window.
3. Repeat as desired to add additional community names to the list
box.
