Web Interface

Supported Web Browsers

You can use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (IE) 7.x and higher (on Windows® operating systems only) or Mozilla® Firefox® 3.0.6 or higher (on all operating systems) to access the Rack PDU through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers may work but have not been fully tested by APC.

The Rack PDU cannot work with a proxy server. Before you can use a Web browser to access the Web interface of the Rack PDU, you must do one of the following:

•Configure the Web browser to disable the use of a proxy server for the Rack PDU.

•Configure the proxy server so that it does not proxy the specific IP address of the Rack PDU.

Logging On to the Web Interface

Overview

You can use the DNS name or System IP address of the Rack PDU for the URL address of the Web interface. Use your case-sensitive user name and password to log on. The default user names follow and differ by account type:

•apc for an Administrator

•device for a Device User

•readonly for a Read-Only User

The default password is apc for all three account types.

Note: If you are using HTTPS (SSL/TLS) as your access protocol, your login credentials are compared with information in a server certificate. If the certificate was created with the APC Security Wizard, and an IP address was specified as the common name in the certificate, you must use an IP address to log on to the Rack PDU. If a DNS name was specified as the common name on the certificate, you must use a DNS name to log on.

For information about the Web page displayed when you log on, see “About the Home Tab” on page 46.
