The Office
Connect
Hub 8/TP
M must have an IP or IPX
address configured for it, to enable it to receive
responses from the device it is polling.
Target Address
Enter the IP or IPX address of the
device to poll.
If there are multiple instances of the Remote Poll
screen, they share the same Target Address. This may
happen if there are multiple Telnet sessions, or a
console
port session and a Telnet session. The last
address entered is the address that is polled.
Round Trip Time
This is the interval in milliseconds
between the time the last frame was sent to the
target device and the time a response was received
by the hub. If there is no response within a few
seconds, no reply is shown. Also displayed is the
number of router hops and, if set, the time-to-live
for the frame.
The hub can be configured to automatically poll
several devices at regular intervals, and report back to
an IP/IPX-based network management application if
there is no response.
Viewing Internal Version Numbers
The Status screen, as shown in
Figure 5-13
, shows
information about the hub.
Make a note of this information as your supplier may
need to know it should you contact them with a
problem.
