55.11 DiscoOptions
DiscoOptions is an executable applet installed with
CobraNet Discovery and used to alter the operational
parameters of the Configuration functions.
55.11.1General usage
This applet provides a convenient way of changing the
operational parameters used by the Configuration
functions. The applet can be launched at any time, but
the values are only read by the Configuration dialog
when it is launched. Therefore, this applet should be
used when the Configuration dialog is not active.
The default values will allow proper operation in most
cases and should not require changing except in
specialized or extreme cases.
It may be useful to increase the Timeout or Retries
values when accessing devices on a very busy network
or devices that themselves are heavily loaded.
Changes are saved only when OK is pressed. Pressing
Cancel or closing the dialog will exit without saving
changes.
55.11.2DiscoOptions dialog fields
• Read Community
The SNMP read community. It should never have to
be changed. Default: public
• Write Community
The SNMP write community. It should never have
to be changed. Default: private
• Timeout
The amount of time to wait for an SNMP response
before aborting the operation. This value is specified
in milliseconds. The minimum allowable value is
150 (.15 seconds) and all values are automatically
rounded to the nearest 10 mS by the program.
Default: 1500
• Retries
The maximum number of times an SNMP operation
will be retried in the event of a failure. Default: 2
• Holdoff
The time in milliseconds to wait between SNMP
accesses. CobraNet interfaces require a holdoff
period. The default value of 10 should not have to be
changed except in very rare instances when the
device being accessed is very heavily loaded. The
value should NEVER be set below 10. A value
above 80 will be automatically reduced to 80.
Default: 10
