Installation Rack Access PX-HID You can install the Rack Access PX-HID in the front or the rear of the enclosure using the rack-mount option, which uses 1 U of enclosure space. You can install the Rack Access PX-HID in the rear of the enclosure using the toolless peg-mount option, which does not use any U-spaces. The toolless peg-mount option is available only with APC enclosures. Toolless peg-mount installation. This option may not be available with all enclosures. 1.
3. Choose a location in the enclosure for the Rack Access PX-HID. The Rack Access PX-HID occupies one U-space. A notched hole (or a number, on newer enclosures) on the enclosure’s vertical rail denotes the middle of a U-space. 7 6 5 ns0014a 1U pdu0080a 4. Insert cage nuts (provided with the enclosure) on the vertical mounting rails above a number (or a notched hole) at the top of a U-space in your enclosure and below the same number at the bottom of the U-space. 5.

Quick Configuration If you are managing the Rack Access PX-HID on the APC LAN of an InfraStruXure Manager Server, Rack Access PX-HID network and NTP settings will be automatically configured by the BOOTP server of the InfraStruXure Manager Server. If, however, you want the Rack Access PX-HID to be accessible on the User LAN (your corporate network), you must configure the Rack Access PX-HID in the manner described in this section.
APC Device IP Configuration Wizard You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a Windows® 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP computer to configure the basic TCP/IP settings of the Rack Access PX-HID. To configure multiple Rack Access PX-HIDs, or to configure a Rack Access PX-HID from a user configuration file, see the Rack Access PX-HID User’s Guide, available on the enclosed Utility CD. 1. Insert the Utility CD into a computer on your network. 2.
The default setting, BOOTP & DHCP, causes the Rack Access PX-HID to attempt to discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server. For more information, see “BOOTP” on page 14 or “DHCP” on page 15. BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Rack Access PX-HID.
DHCP. You can use a RFC2131/ RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Rack Access PX-HID. This section briefly summarizes the Rack Access PX-HID communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP server is used to configure the network settings for the Rack Access PX-HID, see “DHCP Configuration” in the Rack Access PX-HID User’s Guide. 1.
Local access to the control console You can use a local computer that connects to the Rack Access PX-HID through the serial port on the rear of the unit to access the control console. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port. 2. Use the configuration cable (APC part number 940-0103) to connect the selected port to the serial port on the rear panel of the Rack Access PX-HID. 3.
2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands: Windows command format: ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113 LINUX command format: ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113 3. Use Telnet to log on to the Rack Access PX-HID at its newly assigned IP address. For example: telnet 156.205.14.141 4. Use apc for both User Name and Password. See “Control console” on page 17 to finish the configuration.
Accessing a Configured Unit Log on to the configured Rack Access PX-HID through the following interfaces: • Web interface (HTTP or HTTPS protocol) • Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) • SNMP • FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware For more information on the interfaces, see the Rack Access PX-HID User’s Guide. Web interface As your Web browser, you can use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 5.5 and higher (on Windows operating systems only), Firefox, version 1.
See the Security Handbook for information on choosing and setting up your network security. On the Administration tab, select the Network option on the top menu bar, then the access option under Web on the left navigation menu to enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols. Telnet You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled.
SNMP After you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser for SNMP access to the Rack Access PX-HID. The default read community name is public; the default read/write community name is private. If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable SNMP. Allowing SNMP access to the Rack Access PX-HID compromises the high security you implement by choosing SSL and SSH. To disable SNMP, you must be an Administrator.
Configuring an Access Card To configure an access card, you must be able to view the Web interface or control console of the Rack Access PX-HID. See “Quick Configuration” on page 12 for configuration information. See “Accessing a Configured Unit” on page 18 for information about accessing the Web interface or control console. Web interface 1. Log in at the Web interface. Click the Rack Access tab. 2. Select the left navigation menu item Door Properties, select the card format, then log off.
9. Enable the card user’s access for specific days of the week and for a period of time on each of those days. a. To enable access on a day, mark the checkbox next to the day. b. To specify the time period during which the card can unlock the rack on a selected day, enter the time in hours and minutes. Valid times are 00:00 to 23:59. 10. Click Register User to apply the configuration settings for the card. Control console 1. Log in at the control console. Select Device Manager, then Door Properties.
Recovering from a Lost Password You can use a local computer or a computer that connects to the Rack Access PX-HID through the serial port to access the control console. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port. 2. Connect the serial cable (APC part number 940-0103) to the selected port on the computer and to the RS-232 console port at the Rack Access PX-HID. 3.
Upgrading Firmware Automated upgrade tool for Microsoft Windows systems An automated, self-extracting executable tool combines the firmware modules that you need to automate your upgrades on any supported Windows operating system.

At this Web page, find the latest firmware release for your APC product and download the automated tool, not the individual firmware modules.
Firmware file transfer methods To upgrade the firmware of the Rack Access PX-HID: • From a networked computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system, you can use the automated firmware upgrade tool downloaded from the APC Web site, www.apc.com/tools/download. • From a networked computer on any supported operating system, you can use FTP or SCP to transfer the individual AOS and application firmware modules.
5. Enter your User Name and Password (both apc, for administrators only) and press the ENTER key. 6. From the Control Console menu, select System, then Tools, then File Transfer, then XMODEM. 7. The system will prompt you with Perform transfer with XMODEM -CRC? Type Yes and press ENTER. 8. The system will then prompt you to choose a transfer rate and to change your terminal settings to match the transfer rate. Press ENTER to set the Rack Access PX-HID to accept the download. 9.
