Access the APC
The first connection to the APC can be made using a standard Ethernet cable connected directly to
your PC. See next sections for the instructions on how to access the APC management interfaces.
Connection via WEB Browser
The default IP address of the APC 2M, APC 5M, APC 5M V2, APC 2M-8, APC 5M-12, APC 5M-12 V2
is 192.168.2.66 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Step 1 Configure your PC with a static IP address on the 192.168.2.0 subnet with mask
255.255.255.0. Connect the APC Ethernet interface in to the same physical network
as your PC. Open the Web browser and type the default IP address of the APC:
https://192.168.2.66/
Step 2 Enter the APC administrator login details to access the Web management:
The default administrator login settings for all APC 2M, APC 5M, APC 5M V2,
APC 2M-8, APC 5M-12, APC 5M-12 V2 are:
Login: admin
Password: admin01
Step 3 After successful administrator log on you will see the main page of the APC Web
management interface. The APC now is ready for configuration. For further instructions
on Web management refer to the respective document APC User Guide.

Resetting to Factory Defaults
APC 2M, APC 5M, APC 5M V2, APC 2M-8, APC 5M-12, APC 5M-12 V2 has the capability of being
reset to defaults by pinging the device with a certain packet size when the device is booting. During
the startup of the device, when the drivers of the Ethernet interfaces are loaded, the reset daemon is
started. The daemon suspends startup process for 3 seconds and waits for ICMP "echo request"
packet of length 369 bytes. If the packet received, the reset daemon sets the device to default
configuration.
It is recommended to connect PC to the device via switch, as depending on PC OS
settings, the ARP table might be flushed during wired link status change (connecting the
device that will be reset).
Steps to reset to default settings:
Step 1. Power off the APC device.
Step 2. Obtain the device MAC address.
Step 3. Connect a PC to the same physical subnet as the device.
Step 4. Execute 'arp -s' command to assign the IP address (IP address should be from the
same subnet as PC) to the device MAC address:
arp -s <IP address to assign> <device MAC address>
Note that syntax of MAC address differs depending on OS:
Linux OS: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
Windows OS: AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
Step 5. Start pinging the APC device:
For Linux users: ping <IP address> -s 369
For Windows users: ping <IP address> -l 369 -t -w 200
Step 6. Power up device and wait about 30sec or more (depending on device hardware).
Step 7. Stop pinging the APC, and let the device boot as usual. The device should start up with
factory default settings.
