226 Resources
This screen configures the application database, not the selected resource. For changes here to take
effect so authentication can provide information for other panels, you must click Save, close the
Resource Editor, and re-open it.
CAUTION:
If you add an authentication, before it can be effective, you must associate it with Management
Interfaces. Make sure the device has a management interface to match the authentication. Without this,
resync fails.
NOTE:
Device discovery or resync can fail if network or device latency delays authentication beyond the
time−outs specified here. You can increase timeouts if these fail, or simply take your network’s latency
into account when you set authentication timeouts in the first place.
Equipment Roles
Some managed objects have this screen rather than a Roles field in the General panel.
