126CHAPTER 4: DISCOVERING THE NETWORK

At … Select this option to schedule a discovery for a specific time each day. Alternatively it allows you to specify it to run on specific day of the week or on every week day (i.e. Monday to Friday)

Discovery Global Defaults The Discovery Global Defaults pane provides defaults for use in the Network Discovery wizard, Discovery Options pane. Choose the type of Discovery you want to schedule.

See “Discovery Options Pane” on page 122 for a full explanation of the options available here.

Upon exiting this dialog box and returning to the wizard, when you complete the rest of wizard the discovery will start immediately using the options you chose throughout the wizard. Any scheduled discoveries that you specified here will be performed on the subnets that exist in the map at the time the scheduled discovery is started. The options associated with those subnets, such as IP ranges, timeouts etc. will be used again.

When a scheduled discovery is started, the Discovery Progress dialog box is shown in its minimized state. See “The Network Discovery Progress Dialog Box” on page 128 for more detail.

Once a discovery has been scheduled an entry for it will appear in the Scheduled Tasks dialog box. This shows the time that the next discovery will take place and the repeat frequency.

Scheduled discoveries are always repeat tasks – you cannot schedule a one-off discovery.

When the time comes for the scheduled discovery to be started, if a conflicting task (e.g. another discovery) is already running the scheduled task will be queued until the currently running task completes. If a second scheduled discovery is due to be started while the first scheduled discovery is still in the queue, the second discovery is discarded.
