APC NetBotz 320 Rack Appliance NBRK0320E User Manual

Use the Custom Audio Clips task to upload custom audio clips (in WAV or OGG format) to your NetBotz 
500 appliance, or to delete previously uploaded clips from the NetBotz 500 appliance. Once uploaded, 
audio clips can be used with the Play Custom Audio alert action. For more information about the Play 
Custom Audio alert action see “Creating a Play Custom Audio Alert Action” on page 163. This task is 
available for use only with NetBotz 500 appliances.

To upload a custom audio clip to your appliance:

1. Start the task by double-clicking the Custom Audio Clips icon.

2. Click Add custom audio clip.

3. 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.

4. Click OK to upload the file to your appliance.

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

To delete a previously uploaded custom audio clip from your appliance, selec the audio clip you wish to 
delete from the Custom Audio Clips selection list and then click Delete custom audio clip.
