If the device or interface recovers and fails again then the alarm will start again. </p> <h2 id="action-discovery">Action - Discovery</h2> <p>Starts a discovery cycle of the local network by using ping on every address. This starts every 23 hours anyway, it’s probably not needed on the menu. </p> <h2 id="action-save">Action - Save</h2> <p>Saves the current device list in device.xml, discovery option in discovery.xml, and event log in event.log. This also happens when the program is closed. </p> <h2 id="action-new-device">Action - New device</h2> <p>Brings up a dialog box to enter the IP address of a new device. This is usually faster than waiting for it to be discovered. Enter or paste the IP address of the device and click OK or press enter. </p> <h2 id="action-options">Action - Options.</h2> <h3 id="show-all">Show all</h3> <p>Shows all devices, including those which are hidden. </p> <p>In automatic layout mode, there are grid lines and no horizontal scroll bar. The items to be displayed are wrapped onto the next line at the edge of the displayed area. </p> <p>In manual layout modes, the grid lines are not shown and a horizontal scroll bar appears. </p> <h3 id="auto-by-name">Auto by Name</h3> <p>If checked the display is sorted by sysName </p> <h3 id="auto-by-ip-address">Auto by IP Address</h3> <p>If checked the display is sorted by the main IP address. </p> <h3 id="manual">Manual</h3> <p>The devices can be moved to new locations. </p> <h3 id="manual-with-lines">Manual with lines</h3> <p>The devices in the same subnet are connected by lines, if there are more than 2 devices in the subnet then a moveable connection point is displayed. If the subnet is unknown then the smallest subnet 255.255.255.252 is assumed. </p> <h2 id="discovery-options">Discovery options</h2> <p>The local network and the community string settings read from or saved in the discovery.xml file. If there is not file then the default setting is a 256 address subnet based on the PC's IP address, and community “public”. Currently there is only one subnet, but it might be necessary to be able to have more than one subnet. Making the subnet bigger makes the scan take too long. </p> <h2 id="help-contents">Help – Contents</h2> <p>Displays HTML help. </p> <h2 id="help-about">Help – About</h2> <p>Shows the version number. </p></div>Mike JohnsonThu, 22 May 2014 08:50:50 -0000https://sourceforge.nete5cf62bb75b57a000666fcb495d5a26abfdfeb3a
