InfraStruXure Central 4.0 User’s Reference 157
Mass Configuration: Device Settings
The selections available from the Mass Configuration view enable you perform mass configuration
tasks on the APC NetBotz devices installed on your network. Use Mass Configuration tasks to set
APC NetBotz device configuration settings, enable license-key based functionality to your APC
NetBotz devices, enable and disable alerts, set threshold values, configure device web interfaces, and
to configure the alert actions and policies that will be used when alerts are reported by the sensors
that are built into or connected to your APC NetBotz devices. The individual tasks are divided into
Sensor and Alert Settings and Device Settings. This chapter covers only the Device Settings tasks.
For information regarding Sensor and Alert Settings tasks see “Mass Configuration: Sensor and Alert
Settings” on page 111.
The tasks available from the Device Settings portion of the Mass Configuration panel enable you to
configure your APC NetBotz devices. Detailed information about the tasks available from the Device
Settings portion of the Configuration panel follows.
Configuring Offline Devices
If a device goes offline, InfraStruXure Central will assume that the offline state is a temporary event.
When a device is in an offline state you can still perform Mass Configuration tasks on the device.
InfraStruXure Central will store these tasks in the Management Device Job Control queue, and will
automatically perform the tasks as soon as the device comes back online.
Whenever you start a Mass Configuration task, the first window that is displayed shows a table of
devices on which the selected task can be performed. This table features a Status column, in which
the current status of each device is displayed. If a device is currently in an offline state the Status field
for the device will read “Offline,” but you will still be able to enact Mass Configuration tasks on the
device, just as if the device were online. When a Mass Configuration task is enacted against an offline
device, the Status field will show that the task did not complete and is being retired automatically, and
a small image of a clock is displayed to indicate that the configuration request against this device is
currently in a pending state.
If InfraStruXure Central is unable to carry out a mass configuration task because a device is in an
Offline state, it adds the task to the Pending Requests list (“Management Device Job Control” on
page 88).
Managing BotzWare Version 1.x Devices
The Pod Sharing task enables you to use NetBotz 500 devices to receive data from legacy NetBotz
devices running BotzWare 1.x (including RackBotz and WallBotz 300, 303, 310, 400, and 410
devices). Once a NetBotz 500 is configured to access these legacy models they are treated exactly
like other shared pods or devices, providing alert and sensor data exactly as if they were directly
connected to the NetBotz 500. For more information on Pod Sharing, see “Pod Sharing” on page 203.
About Information
Use the About Information task to quickly display a variety of product information about any
selected device. After you select a group from the Group list or one or more devices from the Devices
in... list and start the About Information task the device selection window appears. In addition to the
IP address/hostname and status of each selected device, the About Information device selection
window also includes one task-specific information column: Current Version, which displays
information about the version of firmware version running on each device.
