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 a SSH client program installed on your computer.

See the User’s Guide for more information on configuring and using SSH.

Note: The menu structure for administration and device management in the control console differs from the menu structure for these areas in the Web interface. See the User's Guide for an overview of the control console menus

SNMP

After you add the PowerNet® MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser for SNMP access to the NetworkAIR FM DX. The default read community name is public; the default read/write community name is private.

Note: If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable SNMP. Allowing SNMP access to the NetworkAIR FM DX 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.

FTP/SCP

You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer new firmware to the Network Management Card, or to access a copy of the event logs of the NetworkAIR FM.

SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH.

Note:If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable FTP. Allowing file transfer to the NetworkAIR FM through FTP compromises the high security you implement by choosing SSL and SSH. To disable FTP, you must be an Administrator; use the FTP Server option of the Network menu.

To access the Network Management Card through FTP or SCP, the default user name and password are apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager. In the command line, use the IP address of the unit.

See: the User’s Guide to use FTP or SCP to transfer firmware files to or to retrieve the log file from the Network Management Card.

DX, FM specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) DX,FM series represents a cutting-edge solution designed for critical power management and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. Aimed at businesses and data centers that require robust power protection, this series balances high-performance capabilities with advanced technology features.

One of the key distinguishing features of the DX,FM series is its modular design. This allows users to scale their UPS system according to their needs, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Whether you're managing a small server room or a large data center, the modular architecture ensures that you can add or remove capacity with ease. This flexibility not only optimizes initial investments but also supports future growth seamlessly.

The series employs advanced battery technology, which extends battery life and enhances overall performance. With intelligent battery management systems, the DX,FM ensures that battery health is monitored in real-time, preventing premature failures and unnecessary replacements. This leads to reduced maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Additionally, the DX,FM series features innovative cooling solutions that enhance performance in high-density situations. Efficient thermal management reduces the risk of overheating, keeping valuable equipment operating optimally. This is particularly crucial in data centers where heat generated by servers can create potential disruptions.

Another significant characteristic of the DX,FM series is its sophisticated monitoring and management capabilities. Integrated with state-of-the-art software, users can gain remote access to their UPS units, enabling real-time tracking of performance metrics. This remote monitoring capability allows administrators to proactively manage power usage and ensure that systems are operating within safe parameters.

Furthermore, the DX,FM series is designed with a high level of redundancy. This built-in reliability feature ensures that if one unit fails, others can seamlessly take over, maintaining power supply continuity. This is critical for mission-critical environments where power outages could result in substantial financial losses or data loss.

In summary, the American Power Conversion DX,FM series incorporates modularity, advanced battery technology, effective cooling solutions, and sophisticated monitoring features to deliver an ideal power management solution for various organizations. Its design prioritizes flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, making it an essential investment for any business looking to safeguard its operations against power disruptions.
