Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start 13
How to Access a Configured Rack PDU
Overview
After the Rack PDU is running on your network, you can use the
interfaces summarized here to access the unit.
Web interface
As your browser, you can use Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer 5.0 (and
higher) or Netscape
®
4.0.8 (and higher, except Netscape 6.x) to access
the Management Card through its Web interface. Other commonly
available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by
APC.
To use the Web browser to configure Rack PDU options or to view the
event log, you can use either of the following:
• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides
authentication by user name and password but no encryption.
• The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and encrypts user names, passwords,
and data being transmitted. It also provides authentication of
Network Management Cards by means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on
the network:
1. Address the Rack PDU by its IP address or DNS name (if
configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an
Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager).
3. Select and configure the type of security you want. (This option is
available only for Admininistrators.)
