SMC Networks 8606SX - annexe 2 User Manual page 37

Tip: When creating multiple views of the same network, use Duplicate Object to
make copies of objects, use the mouse to "drag and drop" icons to a new
location or another submap, and then use Edit Object to modify the
object's description.
Object Status
When an object is first added to the map, the device is "offline." If an
object's monitor flag is enabled, EliteView will begin polling the device
immediately. When the object first responds, device status changes to
"online" and a "device up" event is generated. If an object fails to respond
within the specified timeout and retry limits, device status changes to
"offline" and a "connection lost" event is generated. Changes in the status
of objects at lower hierarchial levels in the network map are also reflected in the icons at higher levels (i.e.,
submap icons change color to reflect changes in subordinate devices).
Note: To post changes in object status to the Report window, specifiy Device Up
or Connection Lost in the Action list for the Event Manager. For more
information on defining event responses, see Managing Events, Chapter 8.
Map Limitations
EliteView maps are designed without any arbitrary program limitations.
Practical limits are set by the available system resources.
