Logging Out of Command Mode | I-Tech Company CMS 6R4 Series manual

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.
