How to Access a Configured Rack PDU

Telnet/SSH	You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell
	(SSH), depending on which is enabled. An Administrator can enable
	these access methods through the Telnet/SSH option of the Network
	menu. By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically
	disables Telnet.
	Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of
	authentication by user name and password, but not the high-security
	benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access a Rack 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 Rack PDU’s 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).
	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.
	See the User’s Guide for more information on configuring
	and using SSH.

SNMP	After you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser,
	you can use that browser for SNMP access to the Rack PDU. The
	default read community name is public; the default read/write
	community name is private.
	If you enable SSL and SSH, disable SNMP. Allowing SNMP
	access compromises the high security environment of SSL
	and SSH. Administrators can disable SNMP using the
	Note SNMP option of the Network menu.
