Accessing a Configured Unit
Overview
After the InRow RC is running on your network, you can access the configured InRow RC through the
following interfaces:
For more information on the interfaces, see the User’s Guide on the APC InRow RC Utility
CD.
Web interface
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher (on Windows operating systems only), Firefox 1.x by
Mozilla (on all operating systems), or Netscape
®
7.x and higher (on all operating systems) to access the
InRow RC through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers also may work but have not
been fully tested by APC.
When you use the Web browser to configure display interface 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 HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL);
encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted; and authenticates the InRow RC by
means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your cooling unit 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).
3. To enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, use the Network menu on the
Administration tab, and select the Access option under the Web heading on the left navigation
menu.
For more information on selecting and configuring network security, see the Security
Handbook, available on the Utility CD or from the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
