Configure network settings using the Serial Configuration Utility

the cable to the Console port on the NetBotz appliance.

outlet, and then connect it to the AC line inlet.

Note: This power cord is to be used only with APC NetBotz
products.

depending on appliance configuration. The red Alert LED illuminates
when the appliance detects an alert condition. Click Next to continue.

ports to determine if an APC appliance is connected to the network. If an
APC appliance is discovered, the appliance is listed in the Device column
of the window. Select the radio button for the appliance to configure and
click Next to continue.
