Automatic Transfer Switch Installation and Quick Start10

The Automatic Transfer Switch Interfaces

Overview

After the Automatic Transfer Switch is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized

here to access the unit. For more information on the interfaces, see the User Guide online at

www.apc.com.

Web interface

As your browser, you can use Microsoft

Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) or Netscape

6.x to access

the Network Management Card through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers also may

work but have not been fully tested by APC.

To use the Web browser to configure the Automatic Transfer Switch options or to view the event log, you

can use either of the following:

• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and

password but no encryption.

• The more secure HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL) and encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted. It also provides

authentication of 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 DNS name (if configured).

2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and

apc for a Device Manager).

3. Select and configure the type of security you want. (This option is available only for

Administrators.) See the chapter entitled “Security” in the User Guide for information on

choosing and setting up your network security. Use the Web/SSL option of the Network menu to

enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols.
