Access a Configured PDU
Overview
After the PDU is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized here to access the unit.
For more information on the interfaces, see the User’s Guide.

Web interface
Use Microsoft® Internet Explorer (IE) 5.5 or higher (on Windows operating systems only), Firefox, version 1.x, by Mozilla Corporation (on all operating systems), or Netscape® 7.x or higher (on all operating systems) to access the PDU through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by APC.
To use the Web browser to configure PDU 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 Socket Layer (SSL) and encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted. It also provides authentication of PDUs by means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on the network:
1.Address the PDU by its IP address or DNS name (if configured).
2.Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager).
3.Select and configure the type of security you want. (This option is available only for Administrators.)
