IPS-800/IPS-1600 Series - User’s Guide
The Plug Parameters Menu allows you to define the following parameters:
•Plug Name: Assigns a name to the plug. (Up to 16 Characters, Default = undefined.)
Notes:
•The Plug Name cannot begin with a number, the underscore character (_), the forward slash character (/) or the backslash (\) character.
•The Plug Name cannot include non printable characters, space characters, asterisks (*), colons (:), the plus symbol (+) or quotation marks.
•Plug Password: Assigns a password to the plug. When this password is entered at login, the user will be able to issue commands to this plug, and any other plug that shares the same password as this plug as described in Section 5.3.3.1. (Four to 16 Characters, Default = undefined.)
Notes:
•The Plug Password cannot begin with the forward slash character (/) or the backslash (\) character.
•The Plug Passwords cannot include non printable characters, space characters, asterisks (*) or quotation marks.
•Boot/Seq. Delay: When more than one plug is switched On/Off or a reboot cycle is initiated, the Boot/Sequence delay determines how much time will elapse between switching operations, as described in Section 5.3.3.2. (Default = 0.5 Second.)
5.3.3.1. Plug Passwords and Co-Location Features
The Plug Passwords allow you to determine which plugs an individual user will be permitted to control. When a plug password is entered at the login prompt, the user will be able to issue On/Off/Reboot commands for the corresponding plug, and every other plug that shares this same password.
For example, if the password "switch" is defined for plugs 1, 2, and 3, then a user who logs into command mode using the password "switch" will only be allowed to issue commands to plugs 1, 2, and 3, but will not be allowed to issue commands to the remaining plugs. Note that Plug Passwords do not allow access to configuration menus, and users are only allowed to view the status of plugs permitted by their password.
