Alert and generic event port

Specify port number to use for handling events. Default port is port 1234.

SMTP event port

Specify the port number to use for sending event information from hardware devices to the system via SMTP. The default port is port 25.

FTP event port

The port to use for FTP communication with the hardware device. The default port is port 21.

Polling interval [1/10] second

For a small number of hardware devices, primarily dedicated input/output devices, the system must regularly check the state of the hardware devices' input ports in order to detect input. Such state checking at regular intervals is called polling.

You can specify (in tenths of a second) the interval between state checks. Default value is 10 tenths of a second (that is one second). For dedicated input/output devices, it is highly recommended that the polling frequency is set to the lowest possible value (one tenth of a second between state checks).

For information about which hardware devices require polling, see the release notes.
