Events Menu

How to Configure Individual Events

Overview

The Actions option in the Web interface’s Events menu allows you to

 

configure the actions to be taken by events based on the severity level

 

assigned to each event. An event list (evntlist.htm) page allows you to

 

configure the actions to be taken for an individual event.

 

Note: The I2C Configuration Utility on the APC Web/SNMP

 

Management Card utility CD allows you to perform the same

 

configuration described in this section by editing a text-

 

formatted configuration (INI) file. You then convert that file to a

 

binary-formatted configuration (CFG) file which you can send to

 

multiple Management Cards over the network using the Web/

 

SNMP Management Card Wizard. For more information on the

 

I2C utility, see the Management Card Addendum, which is also

 

available on the APC Web/SNMP Management Card utility CD

 

(.\doc\Addendum.pdf).

Event list access To access the event list, you must add /evntlist.htm to the Management Card’s URL address value (IP address or DNS name). You cannot access the event list directly from the Web interface menus.

For an IP address of 159.215.12.114, and the default TCP port of 80, the URL would be as follows:

http://159.215.12.114/evntlist.htm

For an IP address of 159.215.12.114, and a TCP port other than

80 (in this example, 5000), the URL would be as follows: http://159.215.12.114:5000/evntlist.htm

For a DNS name of writers, the URL would be as follows: http://writers/evntlist.htm

Event list format The evntlist.htm page uses the following columns to identify each event:

Code: The event’s unique Event Code.

Description: The text used for the event.

Severity: The event’s default severity level.

Configuration: The hexadecimal code that defines the actions that will occur for the event, and provides a link to the event mask you can use to configure that event.

This real-time monitoring capability allows IT managers to react promptly to changing environmental variables which can significantly impact server and equipment performance. The device can be connected to a multitude of sensors, enabling users to customize their monitoring setups depending on specific requirements.

The AP9606 utilizes SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for seamless integration with existing network management systems. This protocol allows easy communication between the device and other network elements, further enabling IT departments to consolidate and manage their infrastructure efficiently. Additionally, support for web-based interfaces gives users the flexibility to access real-time data from virtually anywhere, facilitating remote management capabilities which are crucial for businesses with multiple locations.

In terms of connectivity, the AP9606 is equipped with multiple ports, including an Ethernet port for network connection and optional serial ports for connecting with compatible devices. The inclusion of both wired and wireless options ensures that the device can adapt to various network environments, making it particularly versatile.

One of the standout characteristics of the APC AP9606 is its scalability. As businesses evolve, so do their monitoring needs. The AP9606 can be easily expanded with additional sensor modules, allowing businesses to grow their monitoring capabilities without needing entirely new systems. This flexibility makes it a cost-effective solution in the long run.

In summary, the APC AP9606 environmental monitoring device stands out due to its comprehensive monitoring features, robust connectivity options, and scalability. It is particularly well-suited for data centers and critical infrastructure environments where maintaining optimal conditions is essential. By investing in the AP9606, businesses can ensure they are proactively managing their IT assets, ultimately leading to improved operational performance and reduced risk of equipment failure.
