Cascade Sensors and Pods from A-Link Ports
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE RISK

• Do not use crossover cables.
• Do not cascade appliances. Use one appliance per system.
• Do not connect A-Link devices to an Ethernet bus.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

A-Link is an APC by Schneider Electric proprietary Controller Area Network (CAN) 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 the devices you plan to cascade. You can cascade any or all of the following:

• A combined total of four (4) NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150 (NBPD0150) units and NetBotz Room Sensor Pod 155 (NBPD0155) units. You can add up to 12 sensor pods by connecting a supplemental power supply (AP9505i) to every fourth pod.
• A combined total of twelve (12) Temperature Sensors with Digital Display (AP9520T) and Temperature/Humidity Sensors with Digital Display (AP9520TH).
• One (1) rack access pod (NBPD0171, NBPD0172) with one supplemental power supply (AP9505i) attached.

To connect sensors and sensor pods to A-Link ports,

1. Connect sensors and sensor pods to the appliance as shown.
   • Connect to in and out ports as shown.
   • The combined length of all A-Link cables (1) must not exceed 1000 m (3,280 ft).
   • Use CAT-5 (or equivalent) Ethernet patch cables (2).

2. Plug an A-Link terminator (3) into the unused A-Link port.

3. Connect supplemental power supplies (AP9505i) to the 24 VDC Inputs on your devices as required.
   NOTE: The first time a sensor pod receives power, it obtains a unique identification address for communication over the A-Link bus. To avoid communication problems, complete steps 1 and 2 before you connect a supplemental power supply.

The Wireless Sensor Network
The wireless sensor network is made of a host appliance, a coordinator, routers, and end devices.

• The host appliance (your NetBotz Rack Monitor or Room Monitor) collects data from the wireless sensor network and generates alerts based on sensor readings.

• The coordinator is connected directly to the host appliance via USB. It reports data from the sensors on the network and provides available firmware updates to the wireless network. Each wireless sensor network must have only one coordinator, which is connected to a dedicated USB Type A port on the appliance.

• Routers extend the range of the wireless sensor network. Routers pass information between themselves and the coordinator, and between the coordinator and end devices. Each router is powered by an AC-USB adapter, not directly connected to the host appliance.
  Routers are optional. In a data center environment where obstructions are common, routers are recommended if sensors are more than 15 m (50 ft) from the coordinator.

• End devices monitor attached and internal sensors and send data back to the host appliance. End devices are powered by batteries, and are not connected to the host appliance.

Devices on the Wireless Sensor Network

NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE RISK
Only the devices listed here are compatible with the NetBotz wireless sensor network. Other devices may not function and may damage the appliance or other wireless devices.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

appliance USB port Router when connected wirelessly and powered by an AC-USB adaptor
