NetworkAIR FM DX 60 Hz Operation, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting66
Access a Configured Unit
Overview
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.
Web interface
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.
Telnet/SSH
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 for basic access. 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
ENTER:
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).
