You can cascade to A-Link ports up to twelve NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150s (NBPD0150) and up to a
combined total of eight Temperature Sensors with Digital Display (AP9520T) and Temperature/
Humidity Sensors with Digital Display (AP9520TH). You cannot cascade Rack Monitor 200s. Use one
Rack Monitor 200 per system. A-Link is an APC proprietary CAN (Controller Area Network) bus.
Devices compatible with A-Link are not Ethernet devices and cannot coexist on an Ethernet bus with
other networking devices, such as hubs and switches.
Before performing this procedure, follow the installation instructions provided with your NetBotz Rack
Sensor Pod 150s and se nsors. Also, if you cascade ten or more devices, be sure you have a supple mental
power supply (Power Supply 100-120 Vac/24 Vdc—AP9505i) to connect to your system.
1. Connect sensors and NetBotz Rack
Sensor Pod 150s to the Rack Monitor
200, as shown.
– Use CAT-5 (or equivalent) Ethernet
patch cables (). Caution: Do not
use crossover cable s .
– Connect to in and out ports as shown.
– The maximum combined length of all
A-Link cables must not
exceed 1000 m (3,280 ft).
2. Plug an A-Link terminator into the
unused A-Link ports and .
Caution: The first time a NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150 receives power, it obtains a unique
identificat ion address for communication over the A-Link bus. To avoid c ommunication
problems, you must complete steps 1 and 2 before you connect a supplemental power supply.
3. If you have cascaded ten or more devices, connect one supplemental power supply (AP9505i) to
the 24 VDC Input jack of the Rack Sensor Pod 150 in or closest to the eleventh position.

How to Wire to the Modbus Interface
T o connect to your building management system, use the Modbus RS-485 interface. The Modbus
interface supports 2-wi re RS-485, plus ground. In addition, Modbus requires both termination and
polarization resi stors at the bus master . Each end of the bus requires a 150-ohm resistor (provided), and
the bus also requires a 400–650-ohm resistor (provided) from D1 to +5 Vdc and from D0 to GND.
Modbus can be configured to communicate at either 9600 or 19200 bps. The default setting is 9600 bps.

DHCP Server
The DHCP server must be set up with an encapsulated APC cookie in the Vendor Specific Information
option (DHCP option 43); otherwise, DHCP offers will be ignored by the Rack Monitor 200. If you do
not want to use option 43, disable the cookie requi rement (see “How to disable the cookie requirement ”
on this page).
For complete detail s on Rack Monitor 200 communication with a DHCP server, see “TCP/IP
and Communication Sett ings” in the NetBotz Rack Monitor 200User’s Guide. For details on
how to access the user’s guide, see “Additional Documentation” on page 1.
How to set up option 43
The Main Module (NetBotz Rack Monitor 200) requires option 43 in a DHCP response to determine
whether the DHCP response is valid. This option contains up to two APC-specific options in a TAG/
LEN/DATA format: the APC Cookie and the Boot Mode Transition.
• APC Cookie. Tag 1, Len 4, Data “1APC”
Option 43 communicates to the Main Module that a DHCP server is configured to service
APC devices. By default, the DHCP response must contain the APC Cookie for the Main
Module to accept the lease.
Following, in hexadecimal format, is an example of a Vendor Specif ic Information option that
contains the APC cookie:
Option 43 = 0x01 0x04 0x31 0x41 0x50 0x43
• Boot Mode Tr ansition. Tag 2, Len 1, Data 1/2
Boot Mode Transition enables or disables the Main Module option Remain in DHCP &
BOOTP mode after accepting TCP/IP settings, which is disabled by default.
– A data value of 1 enables the option Remain in DHCP & BOOTP mode after accepting
TCP/IP settings. When the Main Module reboots, it will request its network assignment first
from a BOOTP server and then, if necessary, from a DHCP server.
– A data value of 2 disables the option Remain in DHCP & BOOTP mode after accepting
TCP/IP settings. The TCP/IP Configuration setting switches to DHCP when the Main
Module accepts this DHCP response. Thereafter, whenever the Main Module reboots, it will
request its network assi gnment from a DHCP server only.
Following, in hexadecimal format, is an example of the Vendor Specific Information option
that contains the APC cookie and the data value to disable the Remain in DHCP & BOOTP

Important Information about the Default Gateway
Observe the following when required to enter a default gateway for the Rack Monitor 200. (Refer to
page 14.)
Note: If a default gateway is unavail ab le, use the IP address of a computer that is located on
the same subnet as the Rack Monitor 200 and that is usually running. The Rack Monitor 200
uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default ga teway address for the
Rack Monitor 200. It disables the card and requires you to reset TCP/IP settings to their
defaults using a local seria l login.
For information about the role of the watchdog concerning the default gateway, see
“Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 User’s Guide.
For details on how to access the user’s guide, see “Additional Documentation” on page 1.
How to Update the BOOTPTAB File
For the Rack Monitor 200 to automatically find a BOOTP server and acquire its TCP/IP settings, the
network administrator must update the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server with the Rack Monitor
200 MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and default ga teway.
• For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the Rack Monitor 200 or on the Quality Assurance
slip included in the package.
• For the default gateway, see “Important Information about the Default Gateway” on this page.

Access the Rack Monitor 200
After the Ra ck Monitor 200 is running on your network, you can access the following Rack Monitor 200
software user interfaces to finish configuring and to begin monitoring your system:
• W eb interface (HTTP or HTTPS protocol)
• T elnet or Secure SHell (SSH)
• SNMP
• Modbus
For more information on the inter fac es, see the NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 User’s Guide. For
details on how to access the user’s guide, see “Additional Documentation” on page 1.
Web Interface
Use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 5.5 and higher (on Windows operating systems only), Mozilla-based
browsers that support Firefox 1.x (on all operating systems), or Netscape
operating systems) to acces s the Web interface of the Rack Monitor 200. Other commonly availabl e
browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by APC.
When you use the We b browser to configure Rack Monitor 200 options or to view the event and data
logs, you can use either of the following protocols:
• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and
password but no encryption.
• The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SS L);
encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted; and auth enticates the Rack Monitor
200 by means of digital certificates.
T o access the W eb interface and configure the security of your device on the network:
1. Address the Rack Monitor 200 by its IP address (or DNS name if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrat or).
3. T o enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, use the Network menu on the
Administration tab, and select the access option under the Web heading on the left navigation
menu.
For more information on select ing and configuring network securit y, see the Security Handbook. For details on how to access the Security Handbook, see “Additional
Documentation” on page 1.

7.x and higher (on all
Telnet and SSH
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is
enabled. Select the Administration tab, the Network option on the top menu bar, and then the access
option under Console on the left navigation menu. By default , Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH
automatically disables Telnet.
NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 Installation and Quick Configuration Manual20
Telnet for basic access. Te lnet provides the basic securi ty of authentication by user name and
password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the control console of
the Rack Monitor 200:
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press
telnet address
ENTER:
As ad dress, use the IP address of the Rack Monitor 200 (or DNS name if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User).
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure
SHell (SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted
data.
The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the control console
through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program
installed on your computer.
See the NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 User’s Guide for more information on configuring and
using SSH. For details on how to access the user’s guide, see “Addit ional Documentation” on
page 1.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMPv1 o nly. After you add the PowerNet
®
MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that
browser to access the Rack Monitor 200. All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP
are transferred over the network as plain text. The default read community name is public; the default
read/write community name is private.
SNMPv3 o nly. For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to
identify users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile ass igned in the MIB software program to
perform GETs and SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps. The default settings are no authentication
and no privacy.
Note: To use SNMPv3, you must have a MIB program that supports SNMPv3. The Rack
Monitor 200 supports only MD5 authentication and DES encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMP v3. To use InfraStruXure Central or InfraStruXure Manager to manage the Rack
Monitor 200 on the public network of an InfraStruXure system, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the
unit interface. Read access allows InfraStruXure devic es to receive traps from the Rack Monitor 200.
Write acce ss is requir ed while you set the InfraStruXur e device as a trap receiver.
T o enable or disable S NMP access, you must be an Administrator. Select the Administration tab, select
the Network menu on the top menu bar, and use the access option under SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 on the
left navigation menu.
21NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 Installation and Quick Configuration Manual
Modbus
Modbus lets you view the Rack Monitor 200 through the interf ace of your building management system.
It is read-only.
The Modbus interface supports 2-wi re RS-485, plus ground.
Note: Modbus can be configured to run at either 9600 or 19200 bps.
See “Additional Docu mentation” on page 1 for details on accessing the Modbus register map.
How to Recover from a Lost Password
You can use a local computer (a computer that c onnects to the Rack Monitor 200 thr ough the serial port)
to access the control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Connect the provided RS-232 c onfiguration cable to the selected port on the c omputer and to the
RS-232 Console Port at the Rack Monitor 200.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) on your computer and configure the selected
port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
