Initial Configuration Note: Disregard the procedures in this section if you have an APC InfraStruxure Central server 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 (Windows systems only), 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.

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.
NetBotz Quick Configuration Once you configure, install, and apply power to your appliance, use the Advanced View to perform the following procedures. • Configure Appliance Settings: Configure the appliance Clock, DNS, Region, Network Interface (hostname, NAT proxy, and speed and duplex settings), E-mail Servers, and Proxy settings. • Configure Alert Actions: Configure the Play Audio Alert and Primary E-mail Notification alert actions.
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 supports the following pods: Pod Type Rack Monitor 570 Camera Pod 160 Camera Pod 120 total of 4 pods CCTV Adapter Pod 120 Sensor Pod 150 Sensor Pod 155 total of 12 pods Sensor Pod 120 4-20 mA Input Pod 120 Smoke Sensor 2 AP9520 Temp/Humidity 8 Probe (A-Link) * Installing four camera pods requires an external USB hub.
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.
