Web interface
As your Web browser, you can use Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
5.5 and higher (on Windows
operating systems only), Firefox, version 1.x, by
Mozilla Corporation (on all operating systems), or
Netscape
®
7.x and higher (on all operating
systems) to configure the Rack Access PX-HID or
to view the event log. Other commonly available
browsers also may work but have not been fully
tested by APC.
To use the Web browser to configure and monitor
Rack Access PX-HID options or to view the event
log, you can use either of the following:
• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default),
which provides authentication by user name
and password but no encryption.
• The more secure HTTPS protocol, which
provides extra security through Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) and encrypts user names,
passwords, and data being transmitted. It also
provides authentication of the Rack Access
PX-HID by means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the
security of your device on the network:
1. Address the Rack Access PX-HID by its IP
address or DNS name (if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default,
apc and apc for an Administrator).
3. Select and configure the type of security you
want. (This option is available only for
Administrators.)
For more information on the interfaces,
see the Rack Access PX-HID User’s
Guide.
