9.2 Access a Conﬁgured Unit

Overview

After the InRoom Precision Air Conditioner is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized

here to access the InRoom Precision Air Conditioner.

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 InRoom Precision Air Conditioner 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 en-

crypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted. It also provides authentication of InRoom

Precision Air Conditioners 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.
