OUTLET MANAGED PDU

5.6.2.Adding Plug Groups

The "Add Plug Group to Directory" option allows you to create new Plug Groups and assign plug access rights to each group. The Add Plug Group function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.

The Add Plug Group Menu can be used to define the following parameters for each new account:

•Plug Group Name: Assigns a name to the Plug Group. (Default = undefined.)

•Plug Access: Determines which plugs this Plug Group will be allowed to control. (Default = undefined.)

Note:

After you have finished defining or editing Plug Group parameters, make certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Add Plug Group" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the [Esc] key several times until the Outlet Managed PDU displays the "Saving Configuration" message and the cursor returns to the command prompt.

5.6.3.Modifying Plug Groups

The "Modify Plug Group" function allows you to edit existing Plug Groups in order to change plug access rights. Note that this function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.

Once you have accessed the Modify Plug Group menu, use the menu options to redefine parameters in the same manner that is used for the Add Plug Group menu, as discussed in Section 5.6.2.

Note:

After you have finished changing or editing parameters, make certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Modify Plug Groups" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the [Esc] key several times until the Outlet Managed PDU displays the "Saving Configuration" message and the cursor returns to the command prompt.
