Consider the following when connecting APC by Schneider Electric and
third-party sensors to the four sensor ports:
• Third-party dry contact sensors require the NetBotz Dry Contact
Cable (NBES0304). To connect a sensor to the cable, follow the
instructions provided with the sensor and the instructions provided
with the cable.
• Standard third-party 0–5 V sensors require the NetBotz 0–5 V
Sensor Cable (NBES0305). To connect a sensor to the cable,
follow the instructions provided with the sensor and the
instructions provided with the cable.
• If a sensor cable is not long enough, use an RJ-45 coupling
(provided with some sensors) and standard CAT-5 cabling to
extend the cable up to 15 m (50 ft) for a Temperature/Humidity
Sensor (AP9335TH) or a Temperature Sensor (AP9335T) and up
to 30.5 m (100 ft) for all other supported sensors.
For sensors that connect to A-Link ports (Temperature Sensors with
Digital Display [AP9520T] and Temperature/Humidity Sensors with
Digital Display [AP9520TH]), see “Connect Sensors and Sensor Pods to
A-Link Ports” on page 13. To connect a wireless sensor network, see
“Connect the Wireless Sensor Network” on page 14.
NetBotz Room Monitor 455 Installation and Quick Configuration 13
Connect Sensors and Sensor Pods to A-Link Ports

Configure Network Settings
Before you install your NetBotz 455 appliance, you must configure your
appliance’s network settings. By default, your appliance is configured to
obtain its network settings using DHCP. Alternately, you can use a
terminal emulator or serial configuration utility to specify network
settings (including IP address, gateway address, subnet mask,
hostname, NAT proxy, and speed and duplex settings) to be used by the
appliance.
Gather network settings information
Collect the following information from your systems administrator. You
will need this information to configure the network settings on your
appliance.
• DHCP and IP Address Information:
–Does your network use a DHCP server?
–If you do not use DHCP, what IP address is assigned to your
appliance?
• Subnet Mask Information:
–Will you use a subnet mask for the appliance LAN interface?
–If you are using a subnet mask, what is the mask?
• Gateway Information:
–Will you use a default gateway for packet routing?
–If you use a default gateway, what is the IP address of the
gateway?
–If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a
computer that is located on the same subnet as the appliance
and that is usually running. The appliance uses the default
gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
18 NetBotz Room Monitor 455 Installation and Quick Configuration
Obtain network settings using DHCP
By default, your appliance is configured to obtain its network settings
using DHCP. When you connect the appliance to your network and
apply power, it automatically attempts to contact a DHCP server. The
appliance will wait 30 seconds for a response.
If the DHCP server is configured to provide a hostname, the appliance
will request either its configured hostname or ‘netbotzxxxxxx’ (where
xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the appliance serial number) as a hostname
to be associated with the IP address granted by the DHCP server. This
enables you to use a Web browser to connect to the appliance at the
http://netbotzxxxxxx without any additional configuration.
The appliance will also request a DNS server addresses, a DNS
domain, SMTP server addresses, and NTP server addresses from the
DHCP server.
NOTE: After your DHCP server has assigned network settings for the
appliance, you can connect your system to the appliance using the
provided null modem cable, and use a terminal emulator or the serial
