Western Telematic MPC-20VS20-2, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-8H-1 Operation via the Web Browser Interface

9. Operation

The MPC offers two separate command interfaces; the Web Browser Interface and the Text Interface. Both interfaces offer essentially the same command options and features, and in most cases, parameters defined via the Web Browser Interface will also apply when communicating via the Text Interface (and vice versa.)

9.1. Operation via the Web Browser Interface

When using the Web Browser Interface, switching commands are invoked via the Plug Control Screen and Plug Group Control Screen.

9.1.1.The Plug Control Screen - Web Browser Interface

The Plug Control Screen lists the current On/Off status of the MPC’s Switched Outlets and is used to control switching and rebooting of the outlets.

To invoke On, Off, or Reboot commands, proceed as follows:

1.Access the MPC Command Mode as described in Section 5.1.

2.Click on the "Plug Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the Plug Control Screen.

Notes:

•When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence Delay times will be applied as described in Section 5.7.

•If a switching or reboot command is directed to a plug that is already in the process of being switched or rebooted by a previous command, then the new command will be placed in a queue until the plug is ready to receive additional commands.

•If the Status column in the Plug Control Screen includes an asterisk, this means that the corresponding outlet is busy completing a previously invoked command.

•When the Plug Control Screen is displayed by an account that permits Administrator or SuperUser level commands, all switched outlets will be displayed.

•When the Plug Control Screen is displayed by a User level account, the screen will only include the switched outlets that are allowed by the account.
