PowerChute Access

HTTPS is enabled by default and provides secure access to the PowerChute user interface. You may change the Protocol to HTTP (unencrypted) and this will come into effect after you restart the PowerChute service. For more information, please see the PowerChute Security Handbook here.  

PowerChute Security

The Username and Authentication Phrase are used to authenticate communications between PowerChute and the NMC. Therefore, you must set these values to be the same in both PowerChute and the NMC.

Changes to the Username, Password and Authentication Phrase are logged to the event log. For more information see Non-Configurable Events.

If you forget your password, see Resetting your PowerChute username or password.

If PowerChute is registered with more than one NMC, they should all use the same administrator user name and authentication phrase. 

Click the Check Details button  on the Communications Settings page to validate that the PowerChute settings are the same as the NMC(s).
