# Customize IP/SNMP

  If you intend to manage units via IP, you need to define these parameters.
  Enable IP/SNMP
  Number of Query Retries Before Out of Contact
  Poll Interval
  Query Timeout
  Use Agent Consolidated Status

  Enable IP/SNMP
  Enable this feature if you intend to manage units via IP
  Range: Enabled or Disabled
  Poll Interval
  This value defines how often units are polled.
  Range: 1 -- 600 seconds
  Query Timeout
  This value defines how long the program should wait for a response from a unit before reporting a timeout.
  Range: 1 -- 99 seconds
  Number of Query Retries Before Out of Contact
  This value defines the number of retries that must occur before a unit is declared "Out of Contact". Retries occur after the Query Timeout expires.
  Range: 1 -- 99 times
  Use Agent Consolidated Status
  This feature, when enabled, causes the program to only poll the unit for its consolidated status (i.e., it's highest level of alarm).
  When you view the unit's detail window, the program will then poll each configured port and PU for their status. Therefore, the amount of polling that occurs for each configured unit is reduced.
  If this feature is enabled, but you have not enabled the "Log Alarms to File" option under the miscellaneous tab, traps will not be forwarded to the Envisage workstation. This is helpful in situations where high volumes of alarm traffic creates network problems, however, it has some unusual side effects. If Envisage does not receive traps,unit status changes are obtained during the next poll cycle once Unit Detail is evoked. This may create some delay in retrieving the actual status. Also, the active configuration ID and dump file name on the Network Status ribbon are not updated with current information. This causes the status color to turn purple because of the perceived configuration mismatch. this can be resolved under Unit Detail by Updating the Status.
  If disabled, the program polls all configured ports and PUs for each unit to determine the highest level of alarm. If you have several units configured, this can generate unwanted traffic over the network.
  The status is updated during every Poll Interval.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled
