To use the Custom Audio Clips task to add or delete custom audio clips from your devices, launch the 
Custom Audio Clips task. In addition to the IP address/hostname and status of each selected device, the 
Custom Audio Clips task's device selection window also includes one task-specific information column: 
Number of Audio Clips, which shows the number of custom audio clips that are currently stored on each 
device. 

To continue, select one or more devices from the device selection window and click Edit.

To add custom audio clips to the selected devices: 

1. Click Add custom audio clip.

2. Use the file selection interface to select a sound file. Files must conform to the following 

specifications:

– OGG format: 8khz or 16khz sample rate, mono or stereo.

– Windows WAV format (PCM only): Any sample rate, mono or stereo. Note that WAV files will 

be encoded into OGG files on upload, so the actual storage space used will be significantly less 
than the initial   WAV file size.

3. Click OK to upload the file to your device.

Once the file is uploaded, it will be available for use with the Play Custom Audio Alert action. 

To delete previously uploaded custom audio clips from the selected devices, select the audio clip you 
wish to delete from the Custom Audio Clips selection list and then click Delete custom audio clip. 

Use the Device Crawlers task to configure your devices to monitor the general status information of up to 
48 remote SNMP targets (such as servers, routers, and switches). If any operational difficulties are noted 
on a monitored target your devices can generate an alert notification, enabling you to quickly address the 
problem. Once added, you can set thresholds, monitor alerts, and graph data reported by the Device 
Crawlers targets, just as with pods and other sensors. 

Device Crawlers also enables you to obtain detailed device-specific information on supported devices 
and to enable OID-specific monitoring and alerting. Device Crawlers enables you to use Device 
Description Files that make it quick and easy to monitor the environmental and physical data reported by 
some supported SNMP devices.

There is a limited amount of audio clip storage available on your APC NetBotz 500 
device. APC NetBotz 500 devices have a total of 4MB of space available for custom audio 
clips (shared with any background images that have been stored on the device. For more 
information, see “Creating and Editing Maps” on page 51). Be sure to take these 
limitations into consideration when choosing background image files.

• The Device Crawlers task can be run only on one device at a time.
• For more sophisticated monitoring and management of supported SNMP devices, use 

the Device Scanners task.
