= Can't connect to APC Management Web Server = So we are in the home stretch at my company, where I will finally be able to step out of my role as sole - underqualified IT guy, and have our new IT company take over But, being in the home stretch doesn't mean I get off easy I know zero about APC units. We have two of them. One of them has a red light and a message that says "Warning State:Replace Battery" I don't see a model number on this thing, and I thought I could connect in on the IP address for it, but when I do I get the message Protected Object This object on the APC Management Web Server is protected No option to log in, no additional information given on the page Any ideas? It sounds like this guy ran into the same issue httpsnotesfrommwhite.net/2016/03/10/protected-object-when-trying-to-connect-to-my-apc-ups-web-ui/ It looks like he was able to fix it by connecting through ssh and loading a newer firmware version The Model # is on the back or behind the battery cover on the sticker with the barcode on it. Not the battery though, that would be the battery model # and serial # If you can't login you might be getting blocked by newer browsers blocking POODLE which means you need to update the firmware from the Firmware Update Utility. httpwww.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA156047/ There are some APC appliances that have their own interface app You can always try plugging directly in with a serial cable but make sure it is the one they sent with the unit. if you use others, sometimes it'll cause the unit to entirelydown (all your shiz will lose power) == About Community == Members Online Top 1% Ranked by Size
