APC NetBotz 320 Rack Appliance NBRK0320E Manual De Usuario

To add your RAE Systems Sensors Option license key to your appliance:

1. Use the Advanced View to start the License Key task on your appliance. When the task starts, you 

should see RAE Systems Sensors Option listed in the list of available applications.

2. Select RAE Systems Sensors Option from the list and then click Edit.

3. Type in the License Key field the RAE Systems Sensors Option license key.

4. Click OK to add the license key to your appliance. 

The appliance will need to restart, after which RAE Systems Sensors Option will be enabled for use on 
your appliance. 

The sensors provided by the RAE Systems devices will be available for use, enabling you to set 
thresholds (using the RAE Systems task), assign alert actions, graph sensor data, and generate reports 
from the data reported by these sensors, just like any other sensor connected to and supported by your 
appliance.

Once you have enabled RAE Systems Sensors Option and have added one or more RAE Systems devices 
to your appliance (by either connecting one or more RAE Systems devices using a USB-to-serial port 
adapter or RAELink, or by configuring your appliance to act as a Remote RAE Server) the RAE Systems 
Sensors task icon will appear in the Pod/Sensor Settings portion of the Configuration pane. 

The RAE Systems Sensors task is a RAE Systems device-specific version of the Sensor Pods task that 
you use to configure any RAE Systems devices that are connected to your appliance. You can use the 
RAE Systems Sensors task to perform the following configuration tasks:

• Specify the label used to identify the RAE Systems devices.

• Configure sensors associated with RAE Systems devices, including specifying the label that is used 

to identify an individual sensor, specifying the maximum number of hours of sensor data that will be 
preserved on the appliance, and creating thresholds for each sensor which, if violated, will result in 
an alert condition being reported to the appliance.

To configure a RAE Systems device, double-click on the RAE Systems Sensors icon to start the RAE 
Systems Sensors task. A list of supported RAE Systems devices that are connected to your appliance 
appears. Select the device you want to configure, and the click the button that corresponds to the 
configuration task you want to perform:

• Click Label to specify a label for the device.

• Click Sensors to configure the sensors that are built into or connected to the device and to create 

thresholds for those sensors.

This task is specifically for use with supported RAE Systems devices. However, it otherwise functions 
precisely the same as the Sensor Pods task. For detailed instructions on using this task please refer to 
“Sensor Pods” on page 97.

Once you have enabled RAE Systems Sensors Option the RAE Systems task icon will appear in the 
Appliance Settings portion of the Configuration pane.
