remPollPeriod

The device will be polled every remPollPeriod seconds. The 
first poll is sent as soon as the remPollStatus is set to valid(1). To prevent 
overlapping polls, the value of remPollPeriod must be greater than 
2*remPollTimeout*remPollAttempts - otherwise an error is returned when the row 
is set to valid.
              
A poll consists of sending up to remPollAttempts request packets to the device. 
A reply to any of the request packets is sufficient to declare the poll 
successful (and stop further requests from being sent). A poll is deemed 
unsuccessful if no replies have been received after 
remPollTimeout*remPollAttempts seconds from the start of the poll. Note: each 
request packet must contain some sequence information so that late replies do 
not result in a successful poll.
              
The first unsuccessful poll causes a PollFailure event to be generated - further 
unsuccessful polls do not generate events. The next successful poll to the 
device causes a PollSuccess event to be generated - further successful polls do 
not generate events. The pattern then repeats.
              
The value 0 has a special value meaning of only-once When remPollStatus is set 
to valid(1), a single poll is started immediately. There are no events 
generated. whether the poll has been judged successful or unsuccessful.
              
The results of the poll(s) can be monitored by reading the remPollLastRequest 
and remPolLastReply fields.
              
This object may not be modified if the associated remPollStatus object is equal 
to valid(1).
