Arguments

 

<IPDU#>

IPDU number in a daisy chain

<IPDU_ID>

Identification string previously set by the id command

reset

Turns overcurrent protection off (normal operation)

Examples

To check the hardware overcurrent status of IPDU #1, enter:

pm>hwocp 1

To reset the hardware overcurrent protection, enter:

pm>hwocp 1 reset

id

The id command sets or displays the ID of a PM IPDU. A maximum of 16 characters (not case sensitive) is allowed. Spaces, numbers and special characters are allowed. This command is available to the administrator user only.

This command works in a daisy chain.

Syntax

id [<IPDU#>] [<IPDU_ID>] -or-

id [<IPDU_ID>] [<IPDU_ID>] -or-

id

Arguments

 

<IPDU#>

IPDU number in a daisy chain

<IPDU_ID>

Identification string previously set by the id command

no argument

Displays the IDs of all PM IPDUs in the daisy chain

If <IPDU_ID> follows <IPDU#>, or if the <IPDU_ID> parameter is typed twice, the latest entry of the <IPDU_ID> parameter updates the ID string.
