How to Access a Configured PDU
Overview
After the PDU is running on your network, you can use several different
interfaces to access the
PDU.
Browser interface
As your browser, use Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer 5.5 (or higher) to
configure
PDU options or to view the Event log.
1. Address the
PDU by its IP address, or by its DNS name (if a DNS
name is configured).
2. Enter the User Name and Password (apc by default).
Telnet
You can use Telnet to access a PDU’s control console from any computer
on the same subnet.
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press
ENTER:
telnet address
As address, use the PDU’s IP address or its DNS name (if a DNS
name is configured).
2. Enter the User Name and Password (apc by default).
SNMP
After you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you
can use that browser for
SNMP access to the PDU. The default read
community name is public; the default read/write community name is
private.
FTP
You can use FTP (enabled by default) to download new firmware to the
PDU
, or to access a copy of the PDU’s event log.
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press
ENTER:
ftp address
As address, use the PDU’s IP address.
2. Enter the User Name and Password (apc by default).
Note
To use the interfaces identified here, see the user’s guide
and the addendum.
