Access the Rack Monitor 200
After the Rack Monitor 200 is running on your network, you can access the following Rack Monitor 200 software user interfaces to finish configuring and to begin monitoring your system:
•Web interface (HTTP or HTTPS protocol)
•Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH)
•SNMP
•Modbus
For more information on the interfaces, see the NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 User’s Guide. For details on how to access the user’s guide, see “Additional Documentation” on page 1.
Web Interface
Use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 5.5 and higher (on Windows operating systems only),
When you use the Web browser to configure Rack Monitor 200 options or to view the event and data logs, you can use either of the following protocols:
•The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and password but no encryption.
•The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL); encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted; and authenticates the Rack Monitor 200 by means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on the network:
1.Address the Rack Monitor 200 by its IP address (or DNS name if configured).
2.Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator).
3.To enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, use the Network menu on the Administration tab, and select the access option under the Web heading on the left navigation menu.
For more information on selecting and configuring network security, see the Security Handbook. For details on how to access the Security Handbook, see “Additional Documentation” on page 1.
Telnet and SSH
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. Select the Administration tab, the Network option on the top menu bar, and then the access option under Console on the left navigation menu. By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet.
