Opening a device
“Opening” a device displays the device view, a picture of the device. To open the
device view, you must enter community strings that determine the access level
granted to the device.
Table 2 shows the default access community strings for the Device Manager
software.
SNMP Retry Count Number of times Device Manager sends the same polling
request if a response is not returned to Device Manager.
You may want to set this field to three or four.
Timeout Length of each retry of each polling waiting period. When you
access the device through a slow link, you may want to
increase the timeout interval and then change the
Retransmission Strategy to superlinear.
Trace The trace field is used to enable and disable SNMP tracing.
When Trace is selected, SNMP protocol data units (PDUs)
are displayed in the Device > Log dialog box.
Register for Traps When selected (enabled), automatically registers to received
traps when Device Manager is launched against a device.

The default is 500.
