Viewing maps
Use the Map View to view user-created maps that show the location of your NetBotz appliances, pods,
and sensors. The status of all devices shown on the Map view is indicated by a red background for an
alert status and a green background for a status of OK.
Note: You can use Basic View to view existing maps. Use Advanced View to create, edit, or
delete a map.
To view a map using Basic View, click the Maps button in the Action/Information pane. If more than
one map is stored on the appliance, you can select additional map views from the Maps drop-down list.
To view sensor readings for a device in the Map view, select the device. The Sensor Data pane displays
the sensor readings and the alert status for each sensor.
Viewing graphs
To view a graph of the data collected by a sensor:
1. Click the Graphs button in the Action/Information pane.
2. From the Pods drop-down list, select the pod or other device that includes the sensor to view.
3. From the Set drop-down list, select the sensor set that includes the sensor to graph.
4. Select the sensor from the Sensors drop-down list.
5. Select the Start Time and End Time for the graph. By default, all data available from the past 60
minutes is graphed. Up to 8 hours of data can be graphed, depending on sensor configuration.
Generating relay outputs
If you have output relay pods or control devices connected to your appliance, generate an output action:
1. From the Navigation pane, select an output control device.
2. Activate the relay by clicking the relay button in the list of relays in the Sensor Readings pane.
Controlling Rack Access sensors
If you have an SP170 Rack Access Pod connected to your appliance, you can lock and unlock rack locks
and enable or disable card reader hardware using Basic View or Advanced View. The user account must
have “Sensor” or “Administrator” privileges in order to access this functionality.
To lock or unlock a rack lock in Basic View:
1. From the Navigation pane, select a Rack Access Pod.
2. Click Set to ‘Unlocked’ next to the desired lock. The reading will change to Unlocked and the
button label will read Set to ‘Locked’. The lock will automatically relock in 10 seconds by
default. This setting can be changed in the Rack Access Settings configuration dialog.
