Pod Sharing

Use the Pod Sharing task to configure your NetBotz 500 series appliance to host “virtual pods.” Pod

Sharing, available for use only on NetBotz 500 appliances for which the BotzWare Premium Software

Module 2.4 has been purchased, enables your NetBotz 500 to connect with and receive data directly from

devices integrated with or connected to NetBotz 320, 420 or 500s in your network. Shared pods can be

the integrated camera or sensor pod or externally connected pods on a NetBotz 320, 420, or 500. Pod

Sharing enables you to use a single NetBotz 500 as a facility “host” to manage alerts from many other

NetBotz appliances distributed throughout your network.

Once a pod has been shared with the NetBotz 500, it functions as though it were connected directly to the

appliance. A single NetBotz 500 can host up to 16 shared pods, total. Up to 4 of the shared pods can be

Camera Pod 120s or CCTV Adapter pods. The shared pods can be physically connected to up to 8 target

NetBotz appliances.

Shared pods are configured using additional shared pod tasks that appear in the Sensor/Pod Settings

portion of the Configuration pane. The Shared Camera Pods and Shared Sensor Pods tasks appear only

after at least one pod of the appropriate type is being hosted by the NetBotz 500 appliance. Functionally,

these tasks are nearly identical to the Sensor Pods and Camera Pods tasks (see “Sensor Pods” on page 97

and “Camera Pods” on page 66 for more information).
