OUTLET MANAGED PDU

Plug Group Access: Determines the default Plug Group Access setting for new TACACS users. For more information on Plug Groups, please refer to Section 5.6. (Defaults; Administrator and SuperUser = All Plug Groups On, User = All Plug Groups Off, ViewOnly = All Plug Groups Off.)

Notes:

In order to use this feature, Plug Groups must first be defined as described in Section 5.6.

Administrator and SuperUser level accounts will always have access to all plug groups.

User Level accounts will only have access to the plug groups that are defined via the Plug Group Access parameter.

ViewOnly accounts are not allowed to invoke switching and reboot commands.

Service Access: Selects the default Service Access setting for new TACACS users. The Service Access setting determines whether each account will

be able to access command mode via Serial Port, Telnet/SSH or Web. For example, if Telnet/SSH Access is disabled for an account, then the account will not be able to access command mode via Telnet or SSH. (Default = Serial Port = On, Telnet/SSH = On, Web = On.)

Current/Power Metering: Selects the default enable/disable status for the Current/Power Metering setting. When Current/Power Metering is disabled, an account will not be able to view current or power readings or display current or power history. Note that in order for accounts to be able to display these logs, Current and Power Metering must be enabled via the Systems Parameters menu as described in Section 5.3. (Default = On.)
