MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide
Chapter 1: Introduction
The APC MasterSwitch is a network-manageable power control unit (PCU) that allows you complete,
independent control of power to eight relay-controlled outlets. This control is programmable using any of the
following strategies:
nWeb-based control. The MasterSwitch features embedded Web management.
nSimple network management protocol (SNMP) control. The MasterSwitch comes with its own

management station to use
and MIB-II compliant MIB (APC MasterSwitch-MIB) to allow a remote network
SNMP to program control of the MasterSwitch and its eight outlets.
nConsole control. The MasterSwitch has a built-in serial port which allows you to connect a terminal
(or terminal emulator) directly to the MasterSwitch to use its internal console program to configure
power control.
nTelnet support. The MasterSwitch provides a telnet interface that permits remote access to the
terminal console program.
Note: MasterSwitch Web control functions and the MasterSwitch console program
are protected by a user name/password pair. The default user name is apc, in
lower case. The default password is apc.
Note: This guide focuses on providing information on how to use SNMP, telnet, or a terminal
to program the MasterSwitch. Information on how to program the MasterSwitch
its embedded Web management feature is provided by a separate on-line help
application that focuses solely on how to use the Web management capabilities.

on for the MasterSwitch and master power going to the outlets, or turning on, off or rebooting all
outlets at one time.

outlet will provide power after master power is provided, or turning on, off or rebooting each outlet
individually without affecting the output from any other outlet.

Chapter 2: Initial Setup
The MasterSwitch must have its network settings defined for it to function properly for SNMP, telnet, or
embedded Web control of its output power:
n Its IP address
n The IP address of the default gateway
n The subnet mask
n HTTP and telnet port number (for Web-based or telnet control)
How the MasterSwitch initially gets these values depends on whether or not you will be using a
BOOTP server:

configure a

BOOTP server documentation for information on how to use that server to configure
n If you will not be using a BOOTP server you must use a terminal to access the MasterSwitch, and use
its console program. T o access the console program:
1) Connect one end of the cable that comes with the MasterSwitch to the connector labeled “Serial
Port” at the front of the MasterSwitch.
2) Connect the cable to the serial port of the terminal (or terminal emulator).
3) Set the terminal serial port for 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity , 1 stop bit and press <Enter>.

password.
Note: The console, telnet, and W eb control share the same password. When you
change the password using the console, telnet, or W eb control, you change the
password for all three control functions.
r Use the TCP/IP option under the Network submenu to disable BOOTP and define:
a) The IP address for the MasterSwitch.
b) The IP address for the default gateway.
c) The subnet mask value.
r Use the Logout option to exit the console program, or use any of the other main
configuration menu options to further define the MasterSwitch operation before you log out.
Note: See Chapter 6 for more information on how to use the console program.

SNMP write (SETs) access to the MasterSwitch can only occur when no one is logged on to the MasterSwitch
using either W eb control or the terminal console.
Note: SNMP access is controlled by MasterSwitch-MIB OIDs that define what NMSs can
access the MasterSwitch, the access they have (read/write or just read) and what
community name must be used for that access.
