Control Console
How to Log On
Overview
You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet or SSH) connection
to access the control console.
Use case-sensitive User Name and Password entries to log on (by default, apc and
apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager, which is the same
user account as Device User in the Web interface). A Read-Only User has no access to
the control console.
Remote access to the control console
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH). Telnet is
enabled by default. Enabling SSH disables Telnet.
To enable or disable these access methods:
• In the Web interface, on the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu
bar, and then the access option under Console on the left navigation menu.
• In the control console, use the Telnet/SSH option of the Network menu.
If you cannot remember your user name or password, see
Recover from a Lost Password.
