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 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 Network Management

Card 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 more secure 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 Network Management Card 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.)
