If you will be using NetBotz Central to monitor and manage your appliance, and the appliance is located 
behind a firewall, NetBotz Central may not be able to communicate directly with the appliance. Placing 
the appliance in NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode will cause the appliance to post all monitoring data to a 
specified NetBotz Central appliance at a user-specified interval. If desired, SSL encryption can be used 
for secure posting of data.

To use NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode:

1. Start the Advanced View and log into the appliance using a User account that has administrator 

privileges. 

2. Select Advanced > NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode from the Tools pull-down menu. The 

NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode Configuration window opens.

3. Specify an Interval between posts value. This determines how frequently the appliance will post 

The NetBotz Central Post-Only Mode, Appliance Log, Change Root Password, 
and Reboot Appliance menu selections are available only to user accounts that 
have administrator privileges. For more information see “Users” on page 137.
