MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide

Accessing the Console Program

There are two methods of accessing the console program: via the serial port or via telnet.

Via the Serial Port

1) Connect one end of the cable that came with the MasterSwitch to the connector labeled “Serial

Port” at the front of the MasterSwitch .

2) Connect the remaining end of the cable to the serial port of the terminal (or terminal emulator).

3) Set the terminal serial port for 19200 baud and press <Enter>.

Via telnet

1) Type telnet <ip> (where <ip> is the ip address of the MasterSwitch to which you wish to

connect. Using telnet requires that the ip address of the MasterSwitch be previously set

(using bootp or the console program via the serial port).

When the User Name: prompt appears, enter the default, case-sensitive user-name (apc) and press

<Enter>. At the Password: prompt, enter the default password (apc) and press <Enter>.
