8UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
Web User Interface
Introduction
Overview
The Web user interface (UI) provides options to manage the UPS and the UPS Network Management Card 2
(NMC) and to view the status of the UPS.
See “Web access screen” for information on how to select, enable, and disable the protocols that
control access to the UI and to define the Web-server ports for the protocols.
Supported Web browsers
You can use Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
(IE) 7.x or higher (on Windows
®
operating systems only) or
Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
3.0.6 or higher (on all operating systems) to access the NMC through its UI. Other
commonly available browsers might work but have not been fully tested.
The
NMC cannot work with a proxy server. Before you can use a browser to access the UI of the NMC, you
must do one of the following:
Configure the browser to disable the use of a proxy server for the
NMC.
Configure the proxy server so that it does not proxy the specific IP address of the NMC.
How to Log On
Overview
You can use the DNS name or the System IP address of the NMC for the URL address of the UI. Use your case-
sensitive user name and password to log on. The default user name differs by account type:
apc for Administrator
device for a Device User
readonly for a Read-Only User
The default password is
apc for these three account types. There is no default for a Network-only account
type. See also “Types of user accounts”.
You can set your UI language as you log on by choosing a language from the Language drop-down box. See
“Adding and Changing Language Packs”.
When HTTPS is enabled, the NMC generates its own certificate. This certificate negotiates
encryption methods with your browser. Refer to the Security Guide on the CD or on the
www.apc.com website for more details.
URL address formats
Type the DNS name or IP address of the NMC in the Web browsers URL address field and press ENTER. When
you specify a non-default Web server port in Internet Explorer, you must include
http:// or https://
in the URL.
