Installation and configuration
Prerequisites for installation
The SL-APM can be administered through the serial console. Initial configuration requires a serial terminal set
to 115200.
Preparing for installation
1. If you are not using a DHCP server, have your necessary IP address information available that will be
used to access the SL-APM.
2. Secure a serial terminal, which is required for the initial setup of the SL-APM.
3. To use a remote logging server, verify that a remote syslog server and the IP address for connecting to
the remote syslog server are available.
