OUTLET MANAGED PDU

13.4.Plug Control via SNMP

13.4.1. Plug Status/Control

ON, OFF, BOOT, and DEFAULT commands can be issued for plugs via SNMP. Plugs are arranged in a table of N rows, where N is the number of plugs in the system. Plug parameters are described below.

• plugTable::plugID – String indicating the plug’s ID.

• plugTable::plugName – String indicating the plug’s user-defined name.

• plugTable::plugStatus – Current state of the plug. 0 – Plug is OFF

1 – Plug is ON

•plugTable::plugAction – Action to be taken on plug. 1 – Mark to turn ON (does not execute)

2 – Mark to turn OFF (does not execute)

3 – Mark to BOOT (does not execute)

4 – Mark to DEFAULT (does not execute)

5 – Mark to turn ON and execute plug actions

6 - Mark to turn OFF and execute plug actions 7 - Mark to BOOT and execute plug actions

8 - Mark to DEFAULT and execute plug actions

Set plugTable::plugAction to desired action, as specified by values 1-4 above, for each plug index the action is to be applied to. For the last plug you wish to set before executing the commands, use values 5-8 instead, which will invoke the requested commands all at once.

•plugTable::plugCurrent – The current, in tenths of an Amp, that is being consumed by each switched outlet.

•plugTable::plugPower – The power, in Watts, that is being consumed by each switched outlet.
