Setting the Device Manager properties  
Device Manager communicates with the BayStack 380-24F switch using Simple  
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The software is shipped with default  
values set for important communication parameters, such as the polling interval,  
timeout, and retry count. You may want to set the parameters before you open a  
device to manage.  
To set the Device Manager properties:
