Remote Polling
The Remote Poll screen allows you to send a single frame to a remote
device to see if that device is responding. This can help to locate the
source of a network problem. It is also particulary helpful in locating
devices that support IP, IPX and ping but are not manageable by SNMP.
1
To access the Remote Poll screen, from the Main Menu, select Remote
Poll. The screen is displayed as shown in

In the
Target Address
field, type in the IP or IPX address of the device
you want to poll.
3
Select the POLL button at the foot of the screen.
When the poll is complete, the
Round Trip Time
field shows the interval
in milliseconds between sending the frame to the target device and
receiving a response at the Switch 1005. If the target device does not
respond after approximately 10 seconds, this field will display
no reply
.
You can use an SNMP Network Manager to configure the Switch to send
regular IP or IPX ping packets to a maximum of ten other network
devices. If a device fails to respond to four consecutive ping requests, a
trap is sent by the Switch to the management station.
