Black Box Power View PS570A, Installation And Operation Manual, Page: 14 / 32

Operations
Interfaces
The Power View has two interfaces: the HTML interface accessed via the HTTP enabled Ethernet
connections and the command line for serial and Telnet connections.
Usernames and Passwords
The Power View has one predefined administrative user account (username/password: admn/admn) and
supports a maximum of 128 defined user accounts
NOTE: For security, Black Box recommends removal of the predefined administrative user account after a new account with
administrative rights has been created.
Only an administrative-level user may perform operations such as creating/removing user accounts and
command privileges, changing passwords and displaying outlet and user information. An administrator may
also view the status of and control power to all outlets.
The administrator may create additional user accounts and then grant these users the right to view the
status of and control power to specific outlets, groups and ports.
Usernames may contain from 1-16 characters and are not case sensitive; spaces are not allowed.
Passwords may contain up to 16 characters, and are case sensitive.
HTML Interface
The HTML interface is constructed of three major components: the System Location bar, the
User/Navigation bar and the Control Screen. The System Location bar displays the Power View’s
location and IP address as well as the current Control Screen title. The User/Navigation bar displays the
current user and privilege level and provides access to all HTML pages. And the Control Screen is used
to display current data and allow changes to outlet states or system configuration.
The following sections describe each interface section/page and their use.
