American Power Conversion FM, DX manual Snmp, Ftp/Scp

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.
