Identification

Use this option to define the System Name, Location, and Contact values used by the SNMP agent for the management card that is built into the master controller of the Battery Management System. The values defined here are used for the MIB-II sysName, sysContact, and sysLocation Object Identifications (OIDs).

For more information about the MIB-II OIDs, see the

PowerNet® SNMP Management Information Base (MIB)

Reference Guide (.\doc\en\mibguide.pdf) provided on the

APC Battery Management System Utility CD.

Date & Time

Use this option to set the time and date used by the Battery Management System. The option displays the current settings, and allows you to change those settings manually, or through a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server.

Set Manually. Use this option in the Web interface, or Manual in the control console, to define the date and time for the Battery Management System.

An Apply Local Computer Time to System option, which is available in the Web interface only, sets these values to match the date and time settings of the computer you are using to

access the Web interface.

Synchronize with Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server. Use this option, or Network Time Protocol (NTP) in the control console, to have an NTP Server update the date and time for the Battery Management System automatically.
