Scan Settings for Discovery
Administrators can set scanner authentication parameters that will be used as the default when discovering
new devices. These authentication settings can be set for the XML, SNMPv1, SNMPv3 and NUT protocols.
When discovered, manually or automatically, newly
discovered devices will use these authentication
parameters. Depending on the device-supported protocols, IPM will choose the needed parameters. See
“Compatibility” on page 2 to determine which protocols are supported.
The administrator can also activate the automatic scanner
to add any automatically discovered devices without
a direct scan action of the administrator. For example, with automatic scan enabled, the presence of a new card
on the network would be auto-discovered and added.
To change scan settings:
1. From the left-side Views panel
of the Eaton IPM main interface window, select the Settings > System
menu item. The System page displays.
2. Click the Edit scan settings button on the right-side page. T
he Edit scan settings dialog box displays (see
Figure 8).
3. Set the scan settings by selecting or deselect
ing checkboxes, typing data, or make selections from the
drop-down list.
