APC AP9290 User Manual

®

For high security, use Secure SHell (SSH) for access to the control console. 
SSH encrypts user names, passwords and transmitted data. 

The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether 
you access the control console through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you 
must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your 
computer.

To use SSH to access the control console from any computer on the same 
network:

1. At a command prompt, type 

, the username, the “at” (

@

) character, 

and the System IP address for the VCPS (when the VCPS uses the 
default SSH port of 22), and press 

E

NTER

. For example: 

ssh apc@139.225.6.133

2. Enter your user name (login) and password (by default, 

apc

 and 

apc

 

for the permanent administrator).

If the VCPS uses a non-default port number (between 5000 
and 65535), include a colon or a space (depending on your 
SSH client) between the IP address and the port number.
