By default, 3WXM checks for configuration changes, events, and status
changes on WX switches. You can configure checking (also called polling) for
configuration changes in the network made with the CLI, Web Manager, or
another instance of 3WXM.
If you do not enable this option, you still can manually synchronize
3WXM with WX switches using the Devices tab. (Select the Devices
option from the toolbar in the main 3WXM window. See "Synchronizing
Local and Network Changes" on page 352.)
To change network options
1 Select Tools > Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears.
2 Click the Network tab.
3 To set the amount of time that 3WXM waits for a connection to be
established to a WX before trying to connect again, specify the timeout
(1 to 30 seconds) in the Connect Timeout box. The default is 5 seconds.
4 To set the number of times (0 to 5) 3WXM tries to reconnect to the WX
after the original attempt, specify the value in the Retry Count box. The
default is 3 times.
For example, if the retry count is 3, 3WXM attempts to establish a
connection to a WX four times. If you specify 0, 3WXM does not attempt
to establish a connection if the first attempt is unsuccessful.
5 Click Close to close the Preferences dialog box, or click another tab to
continue making changes.

Confirmation prompt when closing wizard pages
