APC AP95100 Power supplier AP95100 User Manual

InfraStruXure Central works with your APC NetBotz devices, APC devices, and other 3rd-party 
manufacturer devices to provide a comprehensive monitoring solution for your IT environment and 
equipment. With InfraStruXure Central, you can instantly view environment readings and a camera 
image from any site on your network where an APC NetBotz device has been deployed. If 
environment readings for a site go outside of thresholds you have set, the icon label for that site turns 
red in the InfraStruXure Central Map view. A Table view presents users with a table that shows all 
current sensor data for APC NetBotz devices in a selected group, allowing users to see at a glance 
where there is an alert condition. Historical alarm data is quickly accessible by appliance and date.

InfraStruXure Central works with logical, dynamically updated groups of devices that you set up. 
Your IT group saves time by executing configuration and threshold operations against an entire group 
at once. You have powerful analytical capabilities at your disposal with the Graph/Report view, 
where you can generate graphs or reports to display sensor data for one or more appliances over a 
specified date/time range. Data can be exported for use in other applications. The administrator of 
InfraStruXure Central can choose precisely what capabilities to grant to each user and which groups 
or appliances they can access.

In addition to enhancing your monitoring and management capabilities, InfraStruXure Central 
improves network availability through a fully distributed architecture combined with remote and 
local storage. All of your environmental monitoring and management data can be stored on up 5 
remote data repositories, greatly enhancing the volume of data that you can access and 
complementing your organization's standardized back-up and recovery procedures. Likewise, 
Surveillance video clips are stored on the appliances that generate them until they are needed, 
enabling you to centrally manage your Surveillance data while also saving bandwidth and preserving 
processing power. 

InfraStruXure Central features extensive administrator customizability. View data operational logs, 
set preferences for device discovery, data collection, network functionality, and security. Create user-
specific accounts that limit access to sensitive data and powerful configuration tasks. User Accounts 
enable you to allow employees or clients access to InfraStruXure Central data without giving them 
the “keys to the kingdom.” Create user accounts that limit access to InfraStruXure Central 
functionality and features to those that are appropriate for a given user. Specify read or write access to 
specific InfraStruXure Central tasks, and limit user access to specific device groups.

By default, your InfraStruXure Central device comes pre-licensed to manage up to 25 network-
attached supported devices. If you need to manage more than 25 devices (up to a maximum of 1025 
unique devices) you will need to purchase a Device Pack license key upgrade for use on your 
InfraStruXure Central server. This license key upgrade will enable you to manage additional devices. 
Simply contact APC Corp. or the vendor from whom you purchased your InfraStruXure Central 
server, purchase a Device Pack license key, and install the license key using the License Keys task. 
For more information, see “License Keys” on page 89. 

InfraStruXure Central can be upgraded with additional functionality with InfraStruXure Central 
upgrade packs such as Surveillance View. Upgrades are available for purchase from APC Corp. or 
from an APC Authorized Reseller. For more information about Surveillance View, see “Surveillance 
View” on page 267.
