How to Access a Configured PDU

Overview

After the PDU is running on your network, you can use several different

 

interfaces to access the PDU.

 

To use the interfaces identified here, see the user’s guide

 

and the addendum.

 

Note

Browser interface

As your browser, use Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 (or higher) to

 

configure PDU options or to view the Event log.

1.Address the PDU by its IP address, or by its DNS name (if a DNS name is configured).

2.Enter the User Name and Password (apc by default).

Telnet

You can use Telnet to access a PDU’s control console from any computer

 

on the same subnet.

 

1.

At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press

 

 

ENTER:

 

 

telnet address

 

 

As address, use the PDU’s IP address or its DNS name (if a DNS

 

 

name is configured).

 

2.

Enter the User Name and Password (apc by default).

SNMP

After you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you

 

can use that browser for SNMP access to the PDU. The default read

 

community name is public; the default read/write community name is

 

private.

FTP

You can use FTP (enabled by default) to download new firmware to the

 

PDU, or to access a copy of the PDU’s event log.

 

1.

At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press

 

 

ENTER:

 

 

ftp address

 

 

As address, use the PDU’s IP address.

 

2.

Enter the User Name and Password (apc by default).
