the respective time setting.
If the Continuous check box is checked, the system will poll continuously regardless of
automatic poll times.
Interval and Interval Base polling
Interval polling allows polling at a fixed interval. To enable interval polling, enter the desired
polling interval in minutes in the Interval text box provided. Base Interval polling allows a
separate polling interval to be specified for unit if type “BASE”.
If Quiet Test is checked, an All Call Quiet Test will be sent before each automatic poll sequence
is started.
The automatic polling modes are mutually exclusive. If Continuous polling is enabled, Interval and
the four fixed time fields will be disabled (grayed out). If Interval polling is non zero, continuous
and the four fixed time fields will be disabled. To turn off interval polling clear or set the interval
polling text field to zero.
Note: It is recommended that the system be polled at least once a day to keep the system
in time sync and to verify system communication and status. This helps to ensure any
problems can be detected and corrected and your system is ready in the event of an
emergency.
