How to Access a Configured Network Management Card
Overview
After the UPS Network Management Card (NMC 2) is running on your network,
you can use the interfaces summarized here: Web interface, Telnet, SSH, Dial-in
access (AP9635 only), SNMP, FTP, and SCP.
For more information about the interfaces, see the User Guide.
Web interface
The Network Management Card 2 Web interface is compatible with:
• Windows
®
operating systems:
–Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
(IE) 8.x or higher, with compatibility
view turned on.
–
The latest release of Micro
soft Edge
• All operating systems:
– The latest releases of Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
or Google
®
Chrome
®
Other commonly available browsers may work but have not been fully tested by
APC by Schneider Electric.
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 NMC 2 Web
interface.
See the Security Handbook, available on the Network Management
Card Utility CD or from the APC Web site, www.apc.com, for more
information on selecting and configuring network security.
