NOTE

The /T command can only be issued via the console port or modem port.

The /T command can not be invoked via the Network Port.

5.6.3EXIT/DISCONNECT

To exit from the command mode and discontinue connection to the unit, type /X and press [Enter]. The Switch will display the “DISCONNECT” message. To suppress the “Sure?” prompt, type /X,Y [Enter].

5.7 Manual Operation

In addition to the command-driven functions, the Dual-Port Network Power Switch’s two switched plugs can also be toggled on and off manually. To manually toggle a plug on or off, press the appropriate manual control button and hold it down for approximately one second; the corresponding plug will be toggled on or off.

NOTE

The manual control buttons can also be disabled via the General

Parameters menu as described in Section 4.4.

5.8 Operating Tips

When connecting to the Dual-Port Network Power Switch via network, modem or console port, keep in mind the following factors:

1.One connection at a time: Only one port can access the command mode at a time. When a command port is busy, the Switch will react as follows:

a)Network port busy: If a second user attempts to connect via the modem port, the Switch will send a busy message. If a second user attempts to connect via the console port, the port will not wake.

b)Modem port busy: If a second user attempts to connect via the network port, the connection will be refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the console port, the port will not wake.

c)Console port busy: If a second user attempts to connect via the network port, the connection will be refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the modem port, the console port will disconnect and the modem port will be granted access; the modem port has priority over the console port.
