Network Management Card
Control Console
How to Log In
Overview You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet)
connection with a computer on the Management Card’s subnet to
access the Control Console. Use case-sensitive
User Name and
Password entries to log in (by default, apc and apc , for an
Administrator, or device and apc , for a Device Manager).
Local (Serial)
access You can use a computer that connects to the Management Card through
the serial port at the UPS or chassis to access the Control Console.
1. Select a serial port at the computer to be used for a terminal-
emulation connection with the Management Card.
2. Disable any service that currently uses the selected serial port,
such as PowerChute plus or UNIX Respond.
3. Connect the smart-signaling cable (APC part number 940-0024)
that came with the Management Card to the serial port on the
computer and to the serial port on the UPS or chassis.
Note: If the computer uses smart-signaling PowerChute plus,
a smart-signaling cable (APC part number 940-0024 or
940-1524) is already installed. For simple-signaling,
temporarily replace the cable.
4. Run a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal.
5. Configure the serial port for 2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1
stop bit, and no flow control, then save the changes.
6. Press E NTER to display the User Name prompt (you may need
to press E NTER two or three times).
7. Enter your User Name and Password .
Note: If you cannot remember a User Name or Password , see
How to Recover from a Lost Password on page 7 .
Remote (Telnet)
access You can use Telnet to log into the Control Console from any computer
on the same subnet as the Management Card.
1. At a command prompt, type telnet and the Management
Card’s System IP address, and then press E NTER . For an IP
address of 159.215.12.114, the command would look like this:
telnet 159.215.12.114
2. Enter your User Name and Password .
