Web interface
As your browser, you can use Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) or Netscape® 6.x to access the Network Management Card through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by APC.
To use the Web browser to configure the Automatic Transfer Switch options or to view the event log, you can use either of the following:
•The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and password but no encryption.
•The more secure HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted. It also provides authentication of Network Management Cards by means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on the network:
1.Address the Network Management Card by its 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).
3.Select and configure the type of security you want. (This option is available only for Administrators.)
See the chapter entitled “Security” in the User’s Guide for information on choosing and setting up your network security. Use the Web/SSL option of the Network menu
