Device Properties

The Device Properties tabbed page (Figure 4-22) allows you to edit the following properties:

Figure 4-22. Device Properties Page
Label	The value set in this field will be displayed in the Label column
	in any list view which contains this field. Note that this is not
	the label that will be assigned to a device icon displayed in a
	Map View. There is no default value.
Address	The IP address assigned to the device. This field is not editable.
Community Name	The community name used to contact the device. This will
	default to the community name used by the discover script or
	the community name entered in the Add Device window; you
	can edit this field if necessary to change your level of access to
	the device.

Interfaces

The Interfaces tabbed page (Figure 4-23) displays the contact interface on the selected device (i.e., the first interface detected by NetSight Element Manager when the device is discovered or inserted), and both displays and allows you to set its polling parameters. You can also edit certain display properties for that interface.
