9.2. Operation via the Text Interface

When using the Text Interface, all switching functions are performed by invoking simple, ASCII commands. ASCII commands are also used to display status screens and to log out of command mode. The Text Interface includes a Help Menu, which summarizes all available MPC commands. To display the Text Interface Help Menu (Figure 9.1), type /H and press [Enter].

Note: When the Help Menu is displayed by a SuperUser, User or ViewOnly level account, the screen will not include commands that are only available to Administrator level accounts.

9.2.1.The Plug Status Screen - Text Interface

When you login to the MPC command mode via the Text Interface, the first screen displayed after login is the Plug Status Screen. The Plug Status Screen lists the current status of the MPC’s Switched AC Outlets and displays the currently defined Site I.D. Message.

Normally, the Plug Status Screen will also be re-displayed each time a command is successfully executed. Note however, that if desired, the Automated Mode (See Section 9.3) can be enabled to suppress the display of the Plug Status Screen after each command.
