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). For
information about the screen that appears when you log into the Control
Console, see
Main Screen on page 17

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. Disconnect any cable from the selected serial port and connect
the smart-signaling cable (940-0024) that came with the
Management Card to the selected serial port and to the serial
port on the UPS or chassis.
Note:
If the computer uses smart-signaling PowerChute plus,
omit step 3: A smart-signaling cable (APC part number
940-0024 or 940-1524) is already installed.
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 your
User Name
or
Password

How to Recover from a Lost Password on page

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 example:
telnet 159.215.12.114
2. Enter your
User Name
and
Password
