APC NetBotz 320 Rack Appliance NBRK0320E Manuel D’Utilisation

In addition to additional hardware support and performance improvements, BotzWare 2.2.2 introduced 
the following new features and enhancements:

• 4-20mA Sensor Pod Support: Support for the 4-20mA Sensor Pod, which enables you to connect 

up to four 4-20mA sensors to your NetBotz 420 or NetBotz 500 appliance. For more information 
see “Configuring 4-20mA Sensor Pods” on page 24 and “Sensor Pods” on page 97.

• BotzWare now supports the use of 0-5V sensors, which can be connected to any external sensor 

port using a NetBotz 0-5V Sensor Cable. 4 external sensor ports are integrated with NetBotz 320 or 
420 appliances, and are included on each Sensor Pod 120 as well.

• Added BotzWare Web Services Interfaces: The NetBotz BotzWare Web Services interfaces are 

intended to provide a set of common, programmer-friendly APIs to 3rd party product and solution 
developers, as well as end customers. For more information, see the BotzWare V2.x Web Services 
Specification PDF, included on your BotzWare CD and available from the NetBotz support web 
site.

• Call Web Services Alert Receiver (New Alert Action): A new alert action that is designed for use 

with the BotzWare Web Services Interface (see above).

• Added support for the SeaLINK PIO-48. When you connect a SeaLINK PIO-48 (available from 

Sealevel Systems) to a USB port on your NetBotz 500  or NetBotz 420 appliance, it provides 48 
digital connections. This enables you to connect and monitor up to 48 dry contact sensors from a 
single appliance without requiring you to purchase and deploy a large number of Sensor Pod 120s. 

• Added support for RAEWatch (new sensor type).

• New Simplified Basic View for Use with Supported PDAs: NetBotz appliances now support a 

simplified version of the Basic View that can be viewed using supported Personal Digital Assistants 
(PDAs). Supported PDAs include Palm Tungsten handhelds running Palm OS 5.2.1, HP iPAQ 
handhelds running Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003 or Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003, and 
Blackberry 6xxx & 7xxx Series Devices running 3.7 OS. For more information see “Using the 
Simplified Basic View” on page 14.

• Send Custom Text File to FTP Server (New Alert Action): Sends a customized text file with 

user-specified content to an FTP server. This alert action type enables you to use macros supported 
by BotzWare (including Appliance, Location, and Alert macros) to define the name of the directory 
on the server in which custom text files will be stored and the base filename that will be used for the 
text files. 

• Advanced Device Crawlers has been enhanced to enable it to monitor NetBotz appliances 

running BotzWare 2.x.

• Additional Network Interface Settings: When configuring a network interface, you can now 

specify both the network speed and the duplex mode for the interface. 

• Added Include XML-encoded Alert Parameter (xmlalert), a check box for the Custom HTTP 

Get action that appends the parameter xmlalert=<xml alert encoding> to the provided URL for the 
action. The encoded XML is the same as is generated by the HTTP POST code, but is URL-
