CHAPTER 5: Operation

NOTE

If command confirmation is enabled, the Switch will display the Status screen after the boot/on/off commands are successfully completed.

1.Switch plug(s) on: To power-on a plug, type /ON n and press [Enter] (where “n” is the number or name of the desired plug). For example:

/ON 1 or /ON ROUTER

2.Switch plug(s) off: To power-off a plug, type /OFF n and press [Enter] (where “n” is the number or name of the desired plug). Note that the /OFF command can also be entered as /OF. For example:

/OFF 2 or /OF ROUTER

3.Boot plug(s): To initiate a boot cycle, type /BOOT n and press [Enter] (where “n” is a the number or name of the desired plug). Note that the /BOOT command can also be entered as /BO. For example:

/BOOT 1 or /BO ATMSWTCH

4.Suppress command confirmation prompt: To execute a boot/on/off command without displaying the “Sure?” prompt, include the ,Y option in the command line. The ,Y option is entered immediately following the command argument. For example:

/ON ROUTER,Y or /BOOT 2,Y

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.
