3.Enter the desired MAC address in the Find window, and press Return to start the search. Note that this feature is not case-sensitive.

If the address is found, it will be listed in the window along with its board and port index.

Setting the Polling Intervals

By setting the polling intervals you can determine how often the following ﬁelds and status indicators are updated in your hub view window: contact status icon, device uptime, time, date, device name, device location, IP Address, MAC Address, port status indicators and statistics windows. You can set different polling intervals for each of the ﬁve polling groupings. This enables you to reduce trafﬁc on your network by setting a high polling interval for the information that usually remains constant (e.g., Device General Status) and a low interval for one that is changing more frequently (e.g., Statistics).

To set the polling intervals used by SPMA:

1.Click on to display the Device menu.

2.Drag down to Polling Intervals, and release.
