DUAL-PORT NETWORK POWER SWITCH

2.Both plugs: To apply a command to both owned plugs, enter an asterisk in place of the name or number. For example:

/ON * or /BO *

5.4The Default Command

The default command (/D) sets plugs to their default on/off status. The default status is set using the Plug Parameters menus described in Section 4.5. Plugs will be set to these defaults when /D is invoked or after a power interruption. To set both plugs to defaults, type /D and press [Enter].

NOTES

When user mode is active, this command will only be applied to plugs owned by the user’s password. The command will not be applied to a plug that is owned by another user password.

When the system mode is active, this command will be applied to both plugs.

This command will always be applied to all owned plugs. It cannot be directed only to a specific plug.

5.5 The Automated Mode

The automated mode allows the Dual-Port Network Power Switch to perform on/off/boot/default/exit commands without displaying menus or generating response messages. Automated mode allows the Switch to be controlled by a computer (or another automatic system) that can generate commands to control power switching functions without human intervention.

When the automated mode is enabled, the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /D, and /X commands are executed without a “Sure?” confirmation prompt and without command response messages; the only reply to these commands is the “TPS>” prompt, which is displayed when the command is complete.

NOTE

When Automated Mode is enabled, a) all Switch password security functions are disabled, b) you can access system level command functions (including the configuration menus), and c) you can control both plugs without entering a password. If you need to enable the automated mode but want to restrict network access to Switch configuration menus, enable and configure the IP Security function as described in Section 4.6.
