The Agent Finder screen

The Agent Finder screen controls how 1E Agents are discovered (using ping packets) when using Multi-Agent mode. You can set the number and frequency of pings sent, the timeout for receiving a response and how often the subnet is rescanned. This lets you set a balance between successfully finding all the Agents against the amount of network traffic generated.
