CMS-6R4 Series - User’s Guide
6.4. Logging Out of Command Mode
When you have finished communicating with the CMS-6R4, it is important to
always disconnect using either the "Log Out" button (Web Browser Interface)
or /X command (Text Interface), rather than simply closing your browser
window or communications program.
When you disconnect using the Log Out button or /X command, this ensures
that the CMS-6R4 has completely exited from command mode, and is not
waiting for the inactivity timeout period to elapse before allowing additional
connections.
6.5. The Automated Mode
The Automated Mode allows the CMS-6R4 to execute switching and reboot
commands, without displaying menus or generating response messages.
Automated Mode is designed to allow the CMS-6R4 to be controlled by a
device which can generate commands to control power switching functions
without human intervention.
When Automated Mode is enabled, the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /D and /X
commands are executed without a "Sure?" confirmation prompt and without
command response messages; the only reply to these commands is the
"CMS>" prompt, which is displayed when the command is complete.
Note that although Automated Mode can be enabled using either the Web
Browser Interface or Text Interface, Automated Mode is designed primarily for
users who wish to send ASCII commands to the CMS-6R4 without operator
intervention, and therefore does not specifically apply to the Web Browser
Interface. When Automated Mode is enabled, the Web Browser Interface can
still be used to invoke On / Off / Boot commands.
Notes:
• When the Automated Mode is enabled, the password prompts will
not be displayed at login, and you will be able to access Supervisor
Level command functions (including the configuration menus) and
control plugs and ports without entering a password.
• If you need to enable the Automated Mode, but want to restrict
network access to configuration menus, it is strongly recommended
to enable and configure the IP Security Function as described in
Section 5.5.2.1.
