Initial Configuration Note: Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure Central as part of your system. See the documentation for your InfraStruXure device for more information.
Install the serial configuration utility and other programs. The NetBotz Serial Configuration Utility is a Java®-based application that configures the network settings on your NetBotz appliance. Use the NetBotz Appliance Utility CD to install the Serial Configuration Utility, as well as the Advanced View (the monitoring and management console for your NetBotz appliance) and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system.
Note: If the COM port associated with the port to which your USB cable is connected is currently in use by another application, the message beside the COM port in the Owner column indicates that the port is not available. To correct this, close the application that is using the COM port and click Scan Serial Ports. 5. The Root Password window appears. Enter the administrator account password for this appliance (apc, by default) and click OK. 6.
The NetBotz Configuration Wizard Use the Configuration Wizard to configure the following settings on your appliance: • Domain Name Server Settings • Clock and Calendar Settings • Region Settings • Administrator User ID and Password • E-Mail Settings • E-Mail Alert Notification Recipients The Configuration Wizard downloads the latest available version of BotzWare to your appliance.
Root account user ID and password Your NetBotz appliance has a pre-configured root account. The root account is used only for appliance communications that are performed using the USB Console Port, e.g., when you use the Serial Configuration Utility to specify network settings. The default User ID and Password for this account are: • User ID: root • Password: apc Note: You cannot change the root account User ID.
Advanced View Use the Advanced View to view sensor data, camera images, and other appliance data in a custom Java application. You can also use the Advanced View to generate relay output actions and configure all appliance features. The Advanced View is a stand-alone application that must be installed on a supported network-attached computer. For more information on the Basic View or the Advanced View, see the NetBotz Appliance User’s Guide.
Configure appliance settings Open the Advanced View and perform the following Appliance Settings tasks. The icons associated with each task are located in the Configuration pane, in the Appliance Settings region. 1. Set the Clock settings. By default, your appliance synchronizes the system clock with the default NTP servers. If network access to these servers is not permitted, double-click on the Clock icon and specify your NTP server address or manually specify clock settings. 2. Set DNS settings.
Configure alert actions You can configure your appliance to play audio alert notifications through the headphone/speaker jack on your Camera Pod 160 or Sensor Pod 120 or to send an e-mail alert notification to your e-mail address when sensor thresholds are violated. Open the Advanced View and perform the following Pod/Alerts Settings tasks. The icons associated with each task are located in the Configuration pane, in the Pod/Alerts Settings region. 1. Open the Alert Actions task.
Upgrade Options Software Feature Upgrades The BotzWare on your appliance can be upgraded using the Upgrade task in the Advanced View. The following software packs can be added to your appliance.
Add pods to your appliance The NetBotz Rack Monitor 550 supports the following pods: • A combined total of 4 Camera Pod 160s, Camera Pod 120s, and CCTV Adapter Pod 120s. • A combined total of 12 Sensor Pod 150s, Sensor Pod 155s, Sensor Pod 120s, and 4-20 mA Input Pod 120s. The NetBotz Rack Monitor 450 supports the following pods: • A combined total of 2 Camera Pod 160s, Camera Pod 120s, and CCTV Adapter Pod 120s.
Install and configure a CCTV Adapter Pod 120. To install a CCTV Adapter Pod 120, connect your video source to the appropriate DIN, BNC, or RCA video input jack on the pod. Use the USB cable to connect your pod to your NetBotz appliance, or to a USB hub connected to the appliance.
Connect a USB digital I/O device You can increase the number of dry contact sensors that can be connected to your appliance by connecting a supported USB digital I/O device to your appliance.
Connect external sensors To install an external sensor, plug the sensor into an available External Port on any Sensor Pod 150, Sensor Pod 155, or Sensor Pod 120. Note: When connecting a sensor to a Sensor Pod 120, be sure to note both the sensor pod serial number, located on the back of the pod, and the number of the External Port on the pod when you connect the cable. You will need this information when you use the sensor pod task to configure your appliance.
