CHAPTER 4: Startup/Configuration

4.5 Plug Parameters

The Plug Parameters menus are used to assign names and select parameters for each of the two switched outlets. There is a separate Plug Parameters menu for each outlet. Note that the Plug Parameters menus are not available in user mode.

In addition to selecting parameters for each outlet, the Plug Parameters menus also allow you to assign an individual user password to each plug. If the same user password is assigned to both plugs, then that password will allow the user to direct boot/on/off commands to both switched plugs. If a separate password is assigned to each plug, then each password will only allow access to its corresponding plug.

To access the Plug Parameters menus from the TPS> prompt, type /P n and press [Enter] (where n is the number or name of one of the two switched outlets).

Figure 4-4. Plug Parameters menu (plug 1 shown).

The Plug Parameters menu (Figure 4-4) offers the following options:

1.Plug Name: (Up to 16 characters.) Assigns a name to the plug. Typically, this name describes the piece of equipment that is connected to the switched outlet. When plug names are assigned, boot/on/off commands can be invoked using the name or number of the desired plug. (Default = undefined.)

2.Password: (Up to 16 characters.) Assigns a user password to this plug. When a user password is assigned, the plug is then “owned” by that password. When a user password is entered at login, the user will have access to only the plug(s) that are owned by this password. (Default = undefined.)

NOTE

If the system password is defined and the plug’s user password is not defined, then the system password will “own” this plug; only the system mode will be able to control the plug.
