OUTLET MANAGED PDU

Command Echo: Enables or Disables command echo at the Setup Port. When disabled, commands that are sent to the Setup Port will still be invoked, but the actual keystrokes will not be displayed on your monitor. (Default = On.)

Accept Break: Determines whether the port will accept breaks received from the attached device. When enabled, breaks received at the port will be passed to any port that this port is connected to. When disabled, breaks will be refused at this port. (Default = On.)

Port Mode Parameters:

Port Name: Allows you to assign a name to the Setup Port. (Default = undefined.)

Port Mode: The operation mode for this port. (Default = Normal Mode)

Depending on the Port Mode selected, the Outlet Managed PDU will display additional prompts listed below. In the Text Interface, these parameters are accessible via a submenu, which will only be active when the appropriate port mode is selected. In the Web Browser Interface, fields will be "grayed out" unless the corresponding port mode is selected.

Normal Mode: Allows communication with a local PC and permits access to command mode. When the Normal Mode is selected, the following mode- specific parameter can also be defined:

DTR Output: Determines how DTR will react when the port disconnects. DTR can be held low, held high, or pulsed for 0.5 seconds and then held high. (Default = Pulse.)
