How to Access a Configured Network Management Card
Overview
After the Network Management Card is running on your
network, you can use the interfaces summarized here: Web
interface, Telnet and SSH, SNMP, FTP and SCP, and, for an
AP9618 Network Management Card, a built-in analog modem.
Web interface
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 5.5 or higher (on
Windows operating systems only), Firefox, version 1.x, by
Mozilla Corporation (on all operating systems), or Netscape
®
7.x or higher (on all operating systems) to access the Web
interface of the Management Card. Other commonly available
browsers may work but have not been fully tested by APC.
You can use either of the following protocols when you use the
Web interface:
• 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 Socket Layer (SSL), encrypts user
names, passwords, and data being transmitted, and
authenticates Network Management Cards by means of
digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your
device on the network:
1. Address the Network Management Card by its IP address
(or its DNS name, if a DNS name is 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.
