OUTLET MANAGED PDU

When switching and reboot commands are executed, the Outlet Managed PDU will display a "Sure?" prompt, wait for user response, and then complete the command. The unit will pause for a moment while the command is executed, and then return to the Plug Status Screen. To Switch Plugs, or initiate a Reboot Cycle, proceed

as follows:

1.Switch Plug(s) On: Type /ON n and press [Enter]. Where "n" is the alphanumeric number or name of the desired plug or Plug Group.

For example:

/ON A1 [Enter] or /ON ROUTER [Enter]

2.Switch Plug(s) Off: Type /OFF n and press [Enter]. Where "n" is the alphanumeric number or name of the desired plug or Plug Group. Note that the "/OFF" command can also be entered as "/OF". For example:

/OFF B2 [Enter] or /OF ROUTER [Enter]

3.Reboot Plug(s): Type /BOOT n and press [Enter]. Where "n" is the alphanumeric number or name of the desired plug or Plug Group. Note that the "/BOOT" command can also be entered as "/BO". For example:

/BOOT B3 [Enter] or /BO ATMSWTCH [Enter]

4.Set All Plugs to Power Up Defaults: Type /DPL and press [Enter]. All plugs permitted by your account will be set to their default On/Off status, which is defined via the Plug Parameters Menu as described in Section 5.7.

Notes:

When you have accessed command mode using an Administrator or SuperUser level account, the Default command will be applied to all plugs.

When you have accessed command mode using an account that permits only User level command access, the Default command will only be applied to the plugs specifically allowed by that account.

The /DPL command is not available in ViewOnly mode.

5.Suppress Command Confirmation Prompt: To execute a power switching command without displaying the "Sure?" prompt, include the ",Y" option at the end of the command line. For example:

/ON ROUTER,Y or /BOOT B2,Y
