When you first get your APC 7900, you won’t be able to talk to it. Here is how I configured mine.
Assign an IP adress to the APC 7900
To assign an IP address to an APC 7900:
# arp -s 10.0.0.128 00:C0:B7:78:8A:7E # ping -s 113 10.0.0.128 PING 10.0.0.128 (10.0.0.128): 113 data bytes 121 bytes from 10.0.0.128: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=91.755 ms 121 bytes from 10.0.0.128: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=4.165 ms 121 bytes from 10.0.0.128: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=3.304 ms ^C --- 10.55.0.128 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.304/33.075/91.755/41.495 ms #
Telnet to to the APC 7900
Then you can telnet in, the password is apc.
$ telnet 10.0.0.128
Trying 10.0.0.128...
Connected to 10.0.0.128.
