CHAPTER 13: Operation via SNMP

13.4.2. Plug Group Status/Control

ON, OFF, BOOT, and DEFAULT commands can be issued for plug groups via SNMP. Plug groups are arranged in a table of 54 rows, one row for each plug group in the system. Plug Group parameters are described below.

•plugGroupTable::plugGroupName – String indicating the plug groups name.

•plugGroupTable::plugGroupAction – Action to be taken on plug group

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 group actions

6 – Mark to turn OFF and execute plug group actions 7 – Mark to BOOT and execute plug group actions

8 – Mark to DEFAULT and execute plug group actions

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

•plugGroupTable::plugGroupCurrent – The current, in tenths of an Amp, that is being consumed by each Plug Group.

•plugGroupTable::plugGroupPower – The power, in Watts, that is being consumed by each Plug Group.
