Retrieving device settings in the APC SNMP Device Configuration wizard

 

In addition to standard identification information (Hostname, Type, Model, Location, and IP Address), the wizard also identifies when the settings for a device were last retrieved by the DCE server (Last Retrieved column), if at all (Not Retrieved).

 

You must retrieve the settings for any device that reports Not Retrieved as its Last Retrieved status before you can configure that device using the selected configuration source (APC SNMP device or template).

When multiple devices of the same model and firmware are listed as Not Retrieved, retrieving the settings for one of those devices updates the Last Retrieved status for all of those devices. The DCE server recognizes that identical devices (same model and firmware version) have identical available settings.
