Web/SNMP Management SmartSlot Card User’s Guide 15
Control Console
How to Log In
Overview You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet)
connection with a computer on the Management Card’s subnet to
access the Control Console. Use case-sensitive User Name and
Password entries to log in (by default, apc and apc, for an
Administrator, or device and apc, for a Device Manager). For
information about the screen that appears when you log into the Control
Console, see Main Screen on page 17.
Local (serial) access You can use a computer that connects to the Management Card through
the serial port at the UPS or chassis to access the Control Console.
1. Select a serial port at the computer to be used for a terminal-
emulation connection with the Management Card.
2. Disable any service that currently uses the selected serial port,
such as PowerChute® plus or UNIX® Respond.
3. Disconnect any cable from the selected serial port and connect
the smart-signaling cable (940-0024) that came with the
Management Card to the selected serial port and to the serial
port on the UPS or chassis.
Note: If the computer uses smart-signaling PowerChute plus,
omit step 3: A smart-signaling cable (APC part number
940-0024 or 940-1524) is already installed.
4. Run a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal.
5. Configure the serial port for 2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1
stop bit, and no flow control, then save the changes.
6. Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt (you may need to
press ENTER two or three times).
7. Enter your User Name and Password.
Note: If you cannot remember your User Name or Password,
see How to Recover from a Lost Password on page
16.
Remote (Telnet)
access You can use Telnet to log into the Control Console from any computer
on the same subnet as the Management Card.
1. At a command prompt, type telnet and the Management
Card’s System IP address, and then press ENTER. For example:
telnet 159.215.12.114
2. Enter your User Name and Password.
