Metered Rack PDU
4
Types of user accounts
The Rack PDU has three levels of access (Administrator, Device User, and Read-Only
User), which are protected by user name and password requirements.
• An Administrator can use all of the menus in the Web interface and control console.
The default user name and password are both apc.
• A Device User can access only the following:
– In the Web interface, the menus on the Device Manager tab and the event and
data logs, accessible under the Events and Data headings on the left navigation
menu of the Logs tab.
– In the control console, the equivalent features and options. A Device User can also
access the event log in the control console by pressing
CTRL+L.
The default user name is device, and the default password is apc.
• A Read-Only User has the following restricted access:
– Access through the Web interface only.
– Access to the same menus as a Device User, but without the capability to change
configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to
configuration options are visible but are disabled, and the event and data logs
display no button to clear the log.
The default user name is readonly, and the default password is apc.
To set User Name and Password values for the three account types,
see Setting user access (Administration>Security>Local
Users>options).
You must use the Web interface to configure values for the
Read-Only User.
