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.
