4.4.4  Acronis Group Server options 
Acronis Group Server regularly polls computers included in its database for their status 
(Ready, Offline and so on, according to 
) The default interval 
between enquires is 2 seconds. You have an option to set the status refresh rate based 
on your network requirements. 
There is usually no need to refresh the view at all when the console is disconnected from 
the group server. A separate option allows you to disable the polling on console 
disconnection or set a wider interval between packets.  
There  is  also  an  option  to  stop  scanning  network for newly connected computers. This 
can speed up operations with the computers already discovered. After the scanning is 
disabled, Acronis Group Server stops sending the packets, but the response may come to 
the packets already sent. Therefore, some computers may be added to the computer list 
after scanning is disabled. This is not a malfunction.  
 
To adjust the status refresh rate, connect the console to the computer where Acronis 
Group Server is installed and select Tools -> Options -> Network -> Status check 
interval
.
