6.3.3.Applying Commands to Several Plugs - Text Interface
As described below, Boot/On/Off commands can be applied to only the switched outlet on the IPS Master Unit, or to an assortment of plugs on the Master Unit and linked Satellite Units.
Note: When commands are applied to several plugs, the IPS will delay for approximately one (1) second between switching actions. For example, when switching Plugs One and Two On, the IPS will switch Plug 1 On, delay one second, then switch Plug 2 On.
1.Several Plugs: To apply an On / Off / Boot command to several plugs or zones, enter the numbers or names for the plugs, separated by a "plus sign" (+). For example to switch plugs 1, 4, and 5 Off, enter the following:
/OFF 1+4+5 [Enter]
2.Series of Plugs: To apply a command to a series of IPS Plugs or "zones", enter the number for the plugs that mark the beginning and end of the series, separated by a colon. For example, to switch plugs 1 through 3 On, enter the following:
/ON 1:3 [Enter]
4.All Plugs: To apply a command to all plugs (the IPS Master Unit plus each connected Satellite Unit), enter an asterisk in place of the name or number. For example, to Boot the Master Unit Plug, and all plugs on connected satellite units, enter the following:
/BO * [Enter]
6.4. Logging Out of Command Mode
When you are finished communicating with the IPS, it is important to always disconnect using either the "Log Out" button (Web Browser Interface) or /X command (Text Interface), rather than simply closing your browser window or communications program.
When you disconnect using the Log Out button or /X command, this ensures that the IPS has completely exited from command mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout period to elapse before allowing additional connections. This ensures that IPS unit will be available to other users, and they will not have to wait for the
