6-1Access PDU with Web Browser: After an IP address has been assigned to the PDU, attempt to access it with a Web browser that supports frames, forms and Java. Open a Web browser on a computer connected to the LAN and enter the IP address assigned to the PDU. You should be prompted for a password A . The user name is admin and the default password is admin. After you enter the user name and password, the PowerAlert Status page B will appear in the browser window. For more information about configuration and operation of the PDU via the PowerAlert interface, refer to the SNMPWEBCARD User's Guide, included on the CD-ROM bundled with the PDU.

Note for Network Management System Users Only: Two MIB files - Tripplite.mib and RFC1628.mib - must be loaded on each Network Management Station that will monitor the PDU via SNMP. The files are provided on the CD-ROM included in the product package.
