You can configure the appliance to post log data to a remote Syslog server. When the Syslog functionality is enabled, all events stored in the Audit Trail are also forwarded to a remote Syslog host for logging to a user-specified Syslog facility.

To enable logging of events to a remote Syslog host:

1.In the Hostname field, enter the IP Address or Hostname of the remote Syslog server.

2.If the remote Syslog server is using a port other that 514 for Syslog communications, enter the port number in the Port field and click OK.

Modbus Slave Communication

The Modbus Slave Communication icon is available only on the NetBotz Rack Monitor 570, 550 or on appliances for which the Advanced Software Pack has been purchased. For more information, contact your APC authorized reseller or the APC support team.

Use the Modbus Slave Communication icon to configure the method the appliance will use to communicate with the Modbus master.

If your appliance is connected through a network port, select Enable TCP/IP Communication. Specify the listening port in the provided field. Port 502 is the industry default.

The serial connection cannot be configured until a serial device of type "Modbus Slave Serial Interface" is configured. If you have multiple serial devices configured, the port will automatically use the first configured device with the type “Modbus Slave Serial Interface”.

To configure a serial connection, select Enable Serial Communication. To configure a serial port, click Serial Devices and select the device from the list.

See “Serial Devices” on page 99 for more information on configuring a serial device.

The default values for the serial settings are: Baud: 19200, Mode: RTU, Parity: even, Data bits: 8,

Stop bits: 1. The Port setting is inherited from the serial device and cannot be changed.

Note: The serial connection requires a USB-to-Serial converter, such as the USB-RS485 Converter Cable, manufactured by FTDI.

Network Interfaces

Use the Network Interfaces icon to view or change the network settings for your appliance. The appliance includes a built-in Ethernet connection, and by default, there is a single Ethernet Interface.

When you select an interface and click Edit, the Edit Network Interface window opens with settings specific to the selected network interface.

Double-click the Network Interfaces icon to open the Edit Network Interface window.
