Installing the HP PDR Management Module

Required tools

No. 2 Phillips screwdriver

Connecting the network cable

Connect a standard Ethernet cable between the network connector on the management module and a network jack.

This connection is used to access the management module remotely through telnet or the web interface. The management module also uses the network connection to facilitate ModBus and SNMP-based monitoring.

Connecting the configuration cable

1. Connect a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter to a serial connector on the host computer.

Installing the HP PDR Management Module 10

Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the RJ-45 connector on the adapter.

3. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to the Config/Pass-Thru connector on the management

module.

This connection is used to configure and access the management module locally through a terminal emulation program.

Launching a terminal emulation program

NOTE: HyperTerminal is the serial communication program provided with Microsoft®

Windows® and is used in this section as an example for setting up a terminal emulation

1. On the host computer, click Start, and select

Configuring the management module for remote access

1. Be sure that you have connected the network cable ("Connecting the network cable" on page 10) to

the management module.

2. Be sure that you have connected the configuration cable ("Connecting the configuration cable" on

page 10) to the management module and the host computer with an open terminal emulation session.

3. Press the Reset button on the management module front panel.

On the terminal emulation session screen running on the host computer, the POST executes, and the following prompt appears:

Press any key in 5 seconds to enter Service menu.

4. Press a key to enter the HP PDR Management Module Service Menu.

Use the HP PDR Management Module Service Menu to configure the minimum settings required to access the management module remotely using telnet or the web interface. You can configure other settings using this utility in conjunction with a terminal emulation program or a telnet connection.

7. Configure web access: a. On the Network Configuration submenu, enter 3 at the prompt to open the Web Access

submenu.

b. Use the submenu options to select HTTP (default) or HTTPS and configure the associated port. The

default port for HTTP is port 80, and the default port for HTTPS is port 443.

8. Configure telnet access: a. On the Network Configuration submenu, enter 2 at the prompt to open the Remote Console

submenu.

b. Use the submenu options to configure the telnet port. The default port is port 23.

9. Enter 0 at the prompt until you have returned to the Main menu.

You can access the web interface remotely through a Web browser (on page 14).

Web browser

Use a web browser to access the HP PDR Management Module web interface:

1. If necessary, configure the management module by: a. Launching a terminal emulation program (on page 11). b. Configuring the management module for remote access (on page 12).

2. Be sure that you have connected the network cable ("Connecting the network cable" on page 10) to

the management module.

3. Press the Reset button on the management module front panel. The management module discovers

attached PDRs.

4. Launch a supported browser. The browser window appears.

5. In the Address field (Microsoft Internet Explorer) or the Location field (Mozilla, Firefox, and

SeaMonkey), enter one of the following:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the management module. The log in screen appears.

6. Sign in through the web browser ("Signing in to the web interface" on page 14).

NOTE: For a complete list of the browser requirements, see "Web interface requirements."

Signing in to the web interface

-orClick Clear to clear the credentials.

For information regarding the interface, see "Navigating the web interface (on page 17)."

HP PDR Management Module web interface 14

For instructions on changing the password, see "My Account menu (on page 33)."

Admin session logins, logouts, and terminations are recorded in the Event Log menu (on page 30). The console session timeout length can be modified in the Remote Access tab (on page 41).

The following is a list of recommended password guidelines.

• Passwords should not be shared with others.

• Passwords should be limited to one or two people, if shared with others.

• Passwords should be coordinated to prevent inadvertent logouts, should more than one person know

them.

• Passwords are case-sensitive.

• Passwords can be between 1 and 15 alphanumeric characters in length.

Browser security alert

Secure browsing requires the use of SSL. SSL is a protocol layer that lies between HTTP and TCP that provides secure communication between a server and a client and is designed to provide privacy and message integrity. SSL is commonly used in web-based transactions to authenticate the web server, which indisputably identifies the server to the browser. SSL also provides an encrypted channel of communication between the server and the browser. The encrypted channel ensures integrity of the data between the web server and the browser, so that data can neither be viewed nor modified while in transit. The management module uses a system generated and unique key.

An integral part of SSL is a security certificate, which identifies the management module. If your browser displays a security alert when browsing to the management module, it can be for one of several reasons:

HP PDR Management Module web interface 15

• The certificate is untrusted, meaning it was signed by a certifying authority that is unknown to your

browser.

• The certificate has expired or is not yet valid. This condition can occur if you issue your own

certificate and it has expired.

• The name on the certificate does not match the name of the site in the browser address field.

For more information about security considerations, see "Security considerations overview (on page 68)."

Establishing a secure session for Internet Explorer

The first time you browse to the management module, the Secure Session screen appears. To ensure a secure connection, verify that you are browsing to the desired management module:

1. Click View Certificate.

2. Verify that the name in the Issued To field is the name of your management module.

3. Perform any other steps necessary to verify the identity of the management module.

CAUTION: If you are not sure this is the desired management module, do not proceed.

Importing a certificate from an unauthorized source relays your login credentials to that
