User Manual

4UPS Network Management Card 3 User Guide
Internal Management Features
Overview
Use the Web user interface (UI) or the command line interface (CLI) to view the status of the UPS and to
manage the UPS and the NMC. You can also use SNMP to monitor the status of the UPS.
For more information about the UIs, see “Web User Interface” and the Command Line Interface
(CLI) guide on the APC website. See “SNMP screens” for information about how SNMP access to
the NMC is controlled.
Access priority for logging on
You can enable more than one user to log on at the same time, where each user has equal access. See
“Session Management screen”.
Types of user accounts
The NMC has various levels of access — Super User, Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User and
Network-only User:
• A Super User can use all of the menus in the UI and all of the commands in the command line
interface. The Super User can also define additional user accounts, and set variables for the additional
users. The default user name and password are both apc at first log in. You will be prompted to enter
a new password after you log in.
NOTE: The Super User cannot be renamed or deleted, but it can be disabled. It is recommended that
the Super User account is disabled once any additional Administrator accounts are created. Make sure
that there is at least one Administrator account enabled before the Super User account is disabled.
• An Administrator can use all of the menus in the UI and all of the commands in the command line
interface. The default user name and password are both apc.
• A Device User has read and write access to device-related screens. Administrative functions like
session management under the Security menu and Firewall under Logs are greyed out.
The default user name is device, and the default password is apc.
• A Read-Only User has the following restricted access:
– Access through the UI only.
– Access to the same menus as a Device User above, but without the capability to change
configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to configuration
options are visible but disabled. (The Event and Data Logs display no button for this user to clear
the log).
The default user name is readonly and the default password is apc.
• A Network-only User can only log on using the Web user interface (UI) and CLI (Telnet/SSH, not
serial). There is no default name and password.
Set your own user name and passwords for user accounts. The default user name and passwords
are known and documented, and provide no security.
The Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User, and Network-only User accounts are disabled by
default, and cannot be enabled until the Super User default password (apc) is changed.
To set User Name and Password values for Administrator, Device User and Read-only account
types, see “Local Users”.
