Polling Interval
Polling Interval
The polling interval specifies a time interval that Envoy waits, following a pass through
the poll list, before beginning a subsequent pass through the poll list. Figure 8-5 shows
the use of the polling interval.
The polling interval is specified for a communications line when issuing the ADD
DEVICE command. You can alter the polling interval by calling the SETMODE
procedure.
The time interval between the polling of terminals during a pass through the poll list is
determined by the length of time individual terminals take to respond to the poll.
