“Is Alive Polling” Feature (Periodic Connectivity Check)
NETview’s Is Alive Polling feature takes the worry out of having an
unresponsive node go undiscovered for an extended time. It automati-
cally performs a connectivity check for each desired node at
user-defined intervals. The default polling interval is 60,000 millisec-
onds (1 minute). A new Multi-Ping feature allows for efficient polling
checks on networks with a very large number of operating nodes.
To enable Is Alive Polling for a node, proceed as follows:
a. Highlight a desired node on the network map and perform a
right mouse click. The pop-up screen shown in Page 28 appears.

b. Select Attributes from the menu. When the Attributes screen
appears, click the
Is Alive Poll box at the bottom of the screen to
activate polling (see Figure 23).
