Conﬁ guration

• Inactivity Timeout: Determines how long the RPS will wait for

additional commands during periods of inactivity. When the Timeout

Period elapses, the user will be disconnected from the RPS command

mode. (Default = 2 Minutes.)

• Command Conﬁrmation: When enabled, the RPS will display a

conﬁrmation prompt before executing certain commands. When

disabled, the prompt will be suppressed and commands will be executed

immediately. (Default = On/Enabled.)

• Automated Mode: When enabled, the RPS will execute switching,

reboot and exit commands without displaying a conﬁrmation prompt,

status screen or conﬁrmation messages. This allows the RPS to be

controlled by a device that generates commands to control switching

without human intervention. For more information, please refer to

Section 6.4. (Default = Off.)

Note: When this option is enabled, security functions are

suppressed, and users are able to access System Level menus and

control plugs without entering a password. If security is a concern

and the Automated Mode is required, it is recommended to use the

IP Security feature (Section 5.3.4.1) to restrict access.

• Manual Switch Button: Enables and conﬁgures the manual plug control

button. (Default = "On".)

▪ Off: Disables the manual switch button.

▪ On: Enables the manual switch button. When the manual switch

button is pressed and held for approximately three seconds, all

sixteen outlets will be effected.

• Default Parameters: Resets the RPS to default parameters. All menu

selected parameters, including port names and passwords, will be cleared.

This option is only available via the Text Interface.

Note: If this function is invoked via the Network Port, the IP

Address will not be reset until you break your connection to the

Network Port. If this function is invoked via the Console Port, the

IP Address will be reset immediately.
