MasterSwitch VM

Managing MasterSwitch VM

Management Interfaces

Overview

After you have configured MasterSwitch VM with the proper network

 

settings (see Initial setup on page 4), you can manage MasterSwitch VM

 

remotely through its Web, Control Console, and SNMP interfaces.You

 

can also manage locally on the Control Console through a serial

 

connection. Only one user at a time can access MasterSwitch VM.

 

Serial connections (using a terminal emulator) have precedence over

 

Telnet users, and Telnet users have precedence over Web users.

Web interface

To access and log on to the MasterSwitch VM unit’s Web interface

 

perform these steps:

 

In the URL Location field, do one of the following:

 

If the MasterSwitch VM unit’s Web port is set to the default

 

 

value of 80, type http:// followed by the MasterSwitch VM

 

 

unit’s IP address. The following example shows a typical IP

 

 

address:

 

 

http://170.241.17.51

 

If the MasterSwitch VM Web port is set to a value other than the

 

 

default of 80, enter the System IP address (the IP address of the

 

 

MasterSwitch VM unit) followed by a colon and the configured

 

 

Web Port value (8000 in the following example):

 

 

http://170.241.17.51:8000

 

You can also enter the DNS name—this requires a DNS server

 

 

entry for the MasterSwitch VM unit. See the example below:

 

 

http://MasterSwitchVM25

 

Respond to the username and password prompts. The default

 

Administrator user name and password are both apc, all lowercase.

 

Note:

You can change the user name, password, and time-out values

 

 

in the System menu. See User Manager on page 23 and Outlet

 

 

User Manager on page 24 for more information.

 

Note:

Some Web interface features (data verification, APC Interactive

 

 

Assistant, and MD5 authentication) require that you enable

JavaScript and/or Java. In order for MD5 to function properly you must also have cookies enabled on your Web browser.
