Define the Name (the device name), Location (the physical location), and Contact (the person responsible for the device) used by InfraStruxure Central and the SNMP agent of the Management Card. These settings are the values used for the MIB-II sysName, sysContact, and sysLocation Object Identifiers (OIDs).

For more information about MIB-II OIDs, see the PowerNet® SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide, available on the Network Management Card Utility CD and the APC Web site, www.apc.com.

The Name and Location fields also identify the device when you register for the Remote Monitoring Service. See “Remote Monitoring Service” on page 77 for more information.
