Telnet and SSH
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMPv1 only. After you add the PowerNet® MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser to access the Main Module. All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text. The default read community name is public; the default read/write community name is private.
SNMPv3 only. For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to identify users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps. The default settings are no authentication and no privacy.
