APC ACRC103
This connector is used to monitor the APC ACRC103, a water-chilled rack air conditioning (AC) unit released by APC. It is part of APC's half-rack (ACRC100) series for data centers.
Each unit can be integrated in a group of up to 12 AC units, in order to create a cooling group. It is then possible to configure some of the settings once and apply this to all the units contained in the group.
About
This connector can be used to poll unit information, as well as group information in case the unit is integrated in a group of air conditioning units. It also allows the user to configure both the unit and the group.
SNMP polling is used to retrieve the device information.
