DNS Server
This option is used to specify a DNS server to resolve hostnames for discovered hosts. May be left blank to disable name resolution.
Ping Method
This option selects the protocol that should be used to ping hosts, choices are UDP, TCP, or ICMP. On Linux, to use ICMP, your poller must be running as root.
SNMP Communities
Fill in the list of available SNMP Community Names to test for this device. Each Community Name must be separated by a colon ':'. These will be tested sequentially.
Poller Frequency
Choose how often to attempt to find devices on your network.
Start Time for Polling
When would you like the first polling to take place. All future polling times will be based upon this start time. A good example would be 12:00AM.
