4.2 Communicating with the Rackmount Remote Power Manager
To configure the power manager or invoke command functions, you must first
connect to the power manager and access command mode. The power manager
offers two separate command interfaces: the Web browser interface and the text
interface. The Web browser interface allows you to contact the power manager via
a TCP/IP network by using a standard JavaScript
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator
ASCII text menus, which you can access via a TCP/IP network, local PC, or
modem.
The power manager also offers three different methods for accessing command
mode: via a network, via a local PC, or via an external modem.
Configuration functions are only available when you have logged into
the power manager's command mode using the system password.

2. Type the power manager's IP address (default = http://192.168.168.168)
into the Web browser's address bar, then press Enter.
3. The power manager will display a prompt that asks for your name and
password.

OK.
Plug passwords do not permit access to configuration functions.
