Construct station specifiers: Specify the way that station specifiers (connect strings)
are constructed for polled Hosts by selecting one of the following options:
From DNS name, or by network and station name specifies Host computers
either by computer name or by DNS name. With this option, a reverse DNS
lookup is attempted using the network address. A reverse DNS lookup can take a
long time depending on the network configuration, and may cause performance
problems if there is a large number of Host computers. If the reverse DNS lookup
succeeds, the station specifier is the DNS name. Otherwise, the network address
and station name are used.
From network and station name only specifies Host computers by network
address and station name using the address:name syntax.
From network connection address only specifies Host computers network
address.
Check Poll automatically on startup to poll for Host computers when you start the
Master. With this option, the Master searches for all computers listed next to Range on
the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab. This is useful if the polling range is small. If the polling range
is large, automatic polling may slow the Master‟s startup significantly.
Gateway Hosts
Use the Gateway Hosts tab of the Master Settings window to control how items are
displayed on the Gateway tab.
