It Takes a Long Time to Close the Dialog Box After Assigning an IP Address to a Manually Added Device

You assigned an IP address to a manually added device and the Properties dialog box takes a long time before closing. During that time, a message is displayed which reads: Please wait while the new properties are verified and applied.

This is normal. When an IP address is assigned to a manually added device, 3Com Network Director checks whether the device is available on the network; if it is it retrieves the device name, type and other properties from the device, verifies them and updates the map, which explains the time required. It usually takes at least one minute for 3Com Network Director to carry out those changes.
