APPLYING COMMANDS TO BOTH PLUGS

As described below, boot/on/off commands can be applied to plug 1, plug 2, or both switched plugs:

NOTES

Commands can only be applied to both plugs when the unit is operating

in System mode, or when both plugs are owned by the same user password.

When commands are applied to both plugs, the Switch will delay for approximately one second between actions. For example, when switching both plugs on, the Dual-Port Network Power Switch will switch plug 1 on, delay one second, then switch plug 2 on.

1.Single plug: To apply a command to a single owned plug, enter the number or name for that plug. For example:

/ON 2 or /ON ROUTER.
