Command Line Interface
Logging In
Logging in through Telnet requires directing the Telnet client to the configured IP address of the unit.
Logging in through the Console (RS232) port requires the use of a terminal or terminal emulation software configured to support ANSI or VT100 and a supported data rate (300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 BPS) - 8 data
To log in by RS-232 or Telnet:
1.Press Enter. The following appears, where x.xx is the firmware version:
Switched PDU Version x.xx Username:
NOTE: Logging in by Telnet will automatically open a session. It is not necessary to press Enter.
2.At the Username: and Password: prompts, enter a valid username and password. And press Enter.
You are given three attempts to enter a valid username and password combination. If all three fail, the session ends.
When you enter a valid username and password, the command prompt (Switched PDU:) appears. If a location identifier was defined, it will be displayed before the Switched PDU: prompt. See Creating a location description on page 37 for more information.
You may enter commands in any combination of uppercase and lowercase. You must enter all command characters correctly; there are no command abbreviations. There are two types of commands: operations and administration. A user must have administrative privileges to use the administration commands. The following tables list and briefly describe each command.
