Logging On and Off

Logging On

User Name and Password

If you are not using a KVM, configure the

administrator user name and password through the

Web or control console interface of the PDU.

If you are using a KVM, configure the

administrator user name and password in the KVM

configuration file /etc/pm.APCPDU. The default

for both is apc. The pm.APCPDU file is saved to

non-volatile memory when you save your

configuration. The -c option is then appended to

the configured password automatically to log you

on to the CLI when you log on to the PDU.

Log-on procedure

To log on to the CLI:

1. Connect to the Switched Rack PDU through

Telnet, through SSH version 1 or 2, or serially.

2. At the User Name prompt, enter your user

name.

3. At the Password prompt, enter your password

(followed by a space and -c if you are not

using a KVM), and press

ENTER.

Responses to successful and failed log-on

When you attempt to log on to the CLI:

• If the user name and password you entered are

valid and the CLI is available, you are logged

on to the CLI. The prompt APC> is displayed.

• After three consecutive unsuccessful log-on

attempts, the Switched Rack PDU prevents

further attempts for two minutes.

• If the CLI is unavailable, the Switched Rack

PDU application layer does not start, i.e., the

-c option does not work.

• If you log onto the CLI, and the application

firmware of the Switched Rack PDU has not

finished initializing, the CLI displays the

following message and logs you off.

The Switched Rack PDU is still

initializing. Please try again later.

• If the administrator password is configured

incorrectly (does not meet the PDU criteria for

a valid password) in the KVM pm.APCPDU

configuration file, the Switched Rack PDU

prevents further log-on attempts for 150

seconds. Correct the password configuration

before trying to log on again.
