How to Access the Rack ATS Interfaces
After the Rack ATS is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized here to access
the unit. For more information on the interfaces, see the User Manual at www.apc.com.
Web Interface
To access the web interface on Windows operating systems, use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8.x or
higher (with compatibility view turned on), or the latest release of Microsoft Edge.
To access the web interface on any operating system, use the latest releases of Mozilla, Firefox, or
Google Chrome. Other commonly available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested.
The ATS cannot work with a proxy server. Before accessing the Web interface of the ATS, do one of the
following:
• Configure the browser to disable the use of a proxy server for your ATS.
• Configure the proxy server so that it does not proxy the specific IP address of your ATS.
To use the web browser to configure Rack ATS options or to view the event and data logs, you can use
either of the following protocols:
• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and
password but no encryption.
• The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and
encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted. It also provides authentication of
Rack ATSs by means of digital certificates.
To access the web interface and configure the security of your unit on the network:
1. Type the IP address (or DNS name if configured) into your web browser’s address bar.
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for the Super User).
3. Select and configure the type of security you want by selecting the Configuration tab, and then
the Security or Network menu from the top menu bar (This option is only available for
Administrators and Super Users).
See the Security Handbook or User Manual, available at www.apc.com, for more information on
selecting and configuring network security.
