   Item	Description
   Polling Interval	The interval will be used by WfH Client service to poll device information such as status and counters. After polling, the information is reflected in the WfH device properties if the device state is accepted. The default value is 3 hours, but you can set a minimum of 1 hour and maximum of 24 hours.
   New Work From Home Device Detection	This setting determines the status of the newly detected WfH device. There two modes available: Auto-accept: If selected, all new devices reported by a WfH Client will be automatically added as a tracked device and be in the “Accepted” state. This is the default mode. Put into pending state: When this mode is selected, all new devices will be put into “Pending” state and will not be tracked. The Administrator will have to manually accept the devices in the WfH tab. To do this, you can refer to Change a Device’s WfH State.

4. Assign SNMP Access profiles.

The assigned SNMP profiles will be used to collect counters and status information from WfH devices. Assigned SNMP accounts will be matched to device based on priority.

For more information about SNMP Accounts, refer to SNMP.

To assign an SNMP profile, select a profile from the Not Assigned Accounts list, and then click the Up arrow to move it to the Assigned Account list.
