If your settings are left at the default, Global Management System will poll a specific ViewStation,
for example, every 5 minutes. Note that, if a ViewStation is turned off within that 5 minute cycle,
it will not be designated online until Global Management System polls that device again (up to 5
minutes later). If the ViaVideo application is closed but it’s PC remains connected to the network,
it will immediately show up as not responding.
You can change the default setting to have more frequent polling. However if a video device is in
a call, the video quality during the call may be compromised.
