Creating a descriptive outlet name

To create an outlet name:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set outlet name, followed by the absolute outlet name and a descriptive name of up to 24 alphanumeric and other typeable characters (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal - spaces are not allowed). Outlet names are not case sensitive. Press Enter.

Example

The following command adds the descriptive name DataServer_1 to outlet .a1:

Sentry: set outlet name .a1 DataServer_1<Enter>

Setting the outlet wakeup state

The wakeup state may be set to On, Off or Last. Upon restoration of system power; If set to On, the Sentry will apply power to that outlet. If set to Off, the Sentry will not apply power to that outlet. If set to Last, the Sentry will apply the last known power state.

To set the wakeup state:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set outlet wakeup, followed by on, off or last and the outlet name. Press Enter.

Example

The following command sets the wakeup state for outlet .a1 to off:

Sentry: set outlet wakeup off .a1<Enter>
