20 Installation and Quick Start
How to Access a Configured Network Management Card
SNMP After you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB
browser, you can use that browser for SNMP access to the
Network Management Card. 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 a Management Card, or to access a copy of a
Management Card’s event or data logs.
1. At a command prompt, type ftp address and press
ENTER, where address is the Management Card’s IP
address.
2. Enter the User Name and Password (apc by default).
APC
Management
Card Wizard
You can use the APC Management Card Wizard (if it is
supported for the firmware release you are using) to configure
multiple Management Cards over the network. You can also
use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from
configured management cards to one or more unconfigured
management cards. The utility and documentation are included
on the APC Network Management Car d utility CD
Analog modem
(AP9618)
The AP9618 Network Management Card EM/MDM has an
internal analog modem you can use for dial-in access to its
Management Card’s control console.
Note
If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-
security authentication and encryption, disable
SNMP. Allowing SNMP access to the Network
Management Card compromises the high
security you implement by choosing SSL and
SSH. To disable SNMP, you must be an
Administrator; use the SNMP option of the
Network menu.
