Network Interfaces
Use the Network Interface task to view or change the NetBotz appliance network settings for you
appliance’s network interfaces. By default there is a single network interface: the Ethernet Interface for
the appliance’s built-in Ethernet connection. If you have not installed additional network interfaces to
your appliance and you start this task the Edit Network Interface window will open. If you have installed
a supported wireless network PC Card then you will first be presented with a selection list containing the
names of the network interfaces available for configuration on your appliance.
When you select an interface and then click Edit the Edit Network Interfaces window opens, with settings
specific to the selected network interface available for editing.
