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.)

See the chapter entitled “Security” in the User’s Guide

security. Use the Web/SSL/TLS option of the Network
