3600 seconds (one hour). You can disable all SNMP polling by setting this property to
zero.
Note that this Poll Interval is different from the Device Polling Interval you can
set through the Inventory Manager. The Device Polling Interval controls the
frequency of polling for detailed device information such as software version,
bootrom version, and so on. The polling interval set in the Administration applet controls
only the basic SNMP status information necessary to ensure SNMP reachability, and is
typically performed relatively frequently.
•TimeoutPeriod: The length of time to wait for an SNMP pollrequest to complete, in
seconds, before timing out. The default is 2 seconds. The range is 1 to 10 seconds.
This setting determines the time-out interval only for the first unsuccessful SNMP
request;oncearequesttimesout,subsequentrequests willtimeoutmore slowly, based

• NumberofRetries: the number of SNMP requests that should be attempted before

• EPICenter Trap Receiver Port: the port on which EPICenter expects to receive traps.
Default is port 10550.
