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.

Web interface

Use Microsoft

Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) or Netscape

4.0.8

(and higher) to configure PDU options or to view the Event log.

1. Address the 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).

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 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).

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 logs.

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 (by default, apc and apc for an

Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager).

Note

To use the interfaces identified here, see the User’s Guide

and the Addendum.
