Getting Started
1. Access Command Mode: The MPC includes two user interfaces; the Text Interface
and the Web Browser Interface. The Text Interface is available via Local PC, SNMP,
SSH Client, Telnet, or Modem, and the Web Browser interface is only available via
TCP/IP network. In addition, when contacted via PDA, the MPC will also present
a third interface, which is similar to the Web Browser Interface, but offers limited
command functions.
a) Via Local PC: Start your communications program and then press [Enter].
b) Via SSH Client: Start your SSH client, enter the default IP address
(192.168.168.168) for the MPC and invoke the connect command.
c) Via Web Browser: Make certain that Web Browser access is enabled as
described in the Section 5.9 in this User's Guide. Start your JavaScript enabled
Web Browser, enter the default MPC IP address (192.168.168.168) in the Web
Browser address bar, and then press [Enter].
d) Via Telnet: Make certain that Telnet access is enabled as described in
Section 5.9. Start your Telnet client, and enter the MPC’s default IP address
(192.168.168.168).
e) Via Modem: Make certain that the MPC's serial Console Port is configured
for Modem Mode as described in Section 5.8, then use your communications
program to dial the number for your external Modem connected to the
Console Port.
2. Username / Password Prompt: A message will be displayed, which prompts you
to enter your username (Login) and password. The default username is “ super”
(all lower case, no quotes), and the default password is also “ super”. If a valid
username and password are entered, the MPC will display either the Main Menu
(Web Browser Interface) or the Port Status Screen (SSH, Telnet, or Modem.)
3. Test Switching Functions: You may wish to perform the following tests in order
to make certain that the MPC is responding to commands. When switching and

indicate the status of each outlet.
