Chapter 6:
Using the
Console Program
This chapter describes how to use the console program to configure and control output power from the MasterSwitch as a unit, or from each outlet individually. The console program is accessed via the serial port or via telnet.
Functions
The console program allows you to perform all MasterSwitch configuration and control functions except definition of URL links for the MasterSwitch and its outlets. You can use the console program to define and control the following values needed for MasterSwitch operation:
nDefine the initial network configuration values needed by the MasterSwitch .
Note: When a BOOTP server (Chapter 2) is not being used, the console program must be used via the serial port to initially define these values. Once these values are defined and BOOTP is disabled, you can use the console program (including telnet sessions) or the embedded web control to modify the values.
nDefine NMSs that can use SNMP to access the MasterSwitch , the kind of access they will have, and community names they must use for that access.
nDefine NMSs that can receive SNMP traps.
nControl master power by turning on, turning off or rebooting all MasterSwitch outlets.
nDefine a master power on delay time value for providing master power to the outlets.
nDefine an outlet power on value for each outlet so that you can control the sequence of power on to the MasterSwitch outlets.
nTurn off, on or reboot any outlet, individually.
nDefine a name for the MasterSwitch .
nDefine a device name for each outlet.
nDefine the amount of time (reboot duration) that power remains off during reboot cycles.
Additionally, the console program allows you:
nView factory preset information (serial number, model number, etc.).
nUse ping to test network communication.
nSet the serial port baud rate.
nChange the password used to log into the console program and web control.
nCancel outstanding commands, reinitialize the MasterSwitch (without affecting its outlet power), reset EEPROM values to their default settings.
