Access Procedures
Overview
The PDU has two internal interfaces (control console and Web interface) which provide menus with options that allow you to manage the PDU. The SNMP interface also allows you to use an SNMP browser with the PowerNet® Management Information Base (MIB) to manage the PDU.
For more information about the internal user interfaces, see Control Console and Web Interface. To use the PowerNet MIB with an SNMP browser, see the PowerNet® SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide (\doc\mibgde.pdf),which is provided on the APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit Utility CD.
Access priority for logging on
Only one user at a time can log on to the PDU to use its internal user interface features. The priority for access is as follows:
•Local access to the control console from a computer with a direct serial connection to the PDU always has the highest priority.
•Telnet access to the control console from a remote computer has priority over Web access.
•Web access has the lowest priority.
