How to Access a Configured Network Management Card
Overview
After the Network Management Card is running on your network, you can use
the interfaces summarized here: Web interface, Telnet and SSH, SNMP, FTP,
and SCP.
For more information about the interfaces, see the User’s Guide.
Web interface
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
(IE) 7.x or higher (on Windows operating
systems only) or Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
3.0.6 or higher (on all operating systems)
to access the Web interface of the Network Management Card. Other
commonly available browsers may work but have not been fully tested by APC.
You can use either of the following protocols when you use the Web interface:
• 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); encrypts user names, passwords, and data being
transmitted; and authenticates 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 Network Management Card by its IP address (or its DNS
name, if a DNS name is configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an
Administrator).
3. To enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, use the Network
menu on the Administration tab, and select the access option under
the Web heading on the left navigation menu.
See the Security Handbook, available on the APC Network
Management Card Utility CD or from the APC Web site,
www.apc.com, for more information on selecting and configuring
network security.
