Adding a New Appliance

Adding a new appliance in ETEMS is the first step in being able to manage it remotely. Configuration screens are tailored to a particular combination of hardware and software, so it is important to select the correct product family and software version when adding a new appliance.

To add a new appliance:

1On the File menu, click New Appliance.

2In the appliance editor, select the product family and software version of the new appliance. The appropriate configuration screen appears for your selection.
