Network Management Card
14
To use Telnet to access the control console:
1. From a computer on the same network as the Management Card, at a
command prompt, type telnet and the System IP address for the
Management Card (for example, telnet 139.225.6.133, when the
Management Card uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press
ENTER.
If the Management Card uses a non-default port number (from 5000 to 32768), you
must include a colon or a space, depending on your Telnet client, between the IP
address (or DNS name) and the port number.
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an
Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User).
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web
interface, use Secure SHell (SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user
names, passwords and transmitted data. The interface, user accounts, and user
access rights are the same whether you access the control console through SSH or
Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program
installed on your computer.
Local access to the control console
For local access, use a computer that connects to the Management Card or other
device through the serial port, to access the control console:
1. Select a serial port at the computer and disable any service that uses the port.
2. Connect the serial cable from the selected port on the computer to the
configuration port at the UPS Network Management Card or Expansion
Chassis or at the APC S Type Power Conditioner with Battery Backup:
• For an APC UPS, use the serial cable, APC part number 940-0024 or 940-1524.
• For an APC S Type Power Conditioner with Battery Backup, use the provided
industry-standard RS-232 serial cable, APC part number 940-1000B.
3. Run a terminal program (e.g., HyperTerminal), and configure the selected port
for 2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press
ENTER, and at the prompts, enter your user name and password.
