American Power Conversion DX Benutzerhandbuch

After the NetworkAIR FM DX is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized here 
to access the NetworkAIR FM DX.

See the User’s Guide for more information on the interfaces.

As your browser, you can use Microsoft

®

 Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher (on Windows operating 

systems only), Firefox 1.x by Mozilla (on all operating systems), or Netscape

®

 7.x and higher (on all 

operating systems) to access the 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 
NetworkAIR FM options or to view the event log, you can use either of the following:

•  The HTTP protocol (enabled by default) provides authentication by user name and password but 

no encryption. 

•  The more secure HTTPS protocol 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.) On the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu bar and the access 
option under the Web heading on the left navigation menu to enable or disable the HTTP or 
HTTPS protocols.

See “Security” in the Security Handbook available on the Utility CD or on the APC 
Web site, www.apc.com, for information on choosing and setting up your network 
security.

You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is 
enabled. (An Administrator can enable these access methods in the Web interface by selecting the 
Administration tab, then Network on the top menu bar, and the access option under the Console 
heading on the left navigation menu.) By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables 
Telnet.

Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and 

password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the Network 
Management Card control console from any computer on the same network:

1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press 

E

NTER

:

telnet address 

As 

address

, use the Network Management Card 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 User).
