Command Reference Guide

17.3.2. Control Commands

/X

Exit Command Mode

Exits command mode. When issued at the Network Port, also ends the Telnet session.

Note: If the /X command is invoked from within a configuration menu, recently defined parameters may not be saved. In order to make certain that parameters are saved, always press the [Esc] key to exit from all configuration menus and then wait until "Saving Configuration" message has been displayed and the cursor has returned to the command prompt before issuing the /X command.

Availability: Administrator, SuperUser, User, ViewOnly

Format: /X [Enter]

/BOOT Initiate Boot Cycle

Initiates a boot cycle at the selected plug(s) or Plug Group(s). When a Boot cycle is performed, the MPC will first switch the selected plug(s) Off, then pause for the user- defined Boot/Sequence Delay Period, then switch the plug(s) back on. The /BOOT command can also be entered as /BO.

Note: When this command is invoked in Administrator Mode or SuperUser Mode, it can be applied to all MPC plugs and Plug Groups. When this command is invoked in User Mode, it can only be applied to the plugs and/or Plug Groups that have been enabled for the account.

Availability: Administrator, SuperUser, User

Format: /BOOT [aux] <n>[,Y] [Enter] or /BO [aux] <n> [Enter] Where:

aux If you are directing the command to an outlet on an attached AUX/Remote MPC unit, then the aux argument must be included in the command line in order to route the command to the appropriate MPC unit. If your local MPC unit is not connected to AUX/Remote MPC units, then there is no need to include this argument in the command line.

nThe number or name of the plug(s) or Plug Group(s) that you intend to boot. To apply the command to several plugs, enter a plus sign (+) between each plug number. To apply the command to a range of plugs, enter the numbers for the first and last plugs in the range, separated by a colon character (:). To apply the command to all plugs allowed by your account, enter an asterisk character (*).

,Y (Optional) Suppresses the command confirmation prompt.

Examples:

Assume that your account allows access to Plug A2 and Plug A3. To initiate a boot cycle at Plugs A2 and A3, without displaying the optional command confirmation prompt, invoke either of the following command lines:

/BOOT A2+A3,Y [Enter] or /BO A2+A3,Y [Enter]

To direct the /BOOT command to plug B4 on an AUX/Remote MPC unit connected to the AUX2 port on your local MPC unit, invoke either of the following command lines:

/BOOT aux2 B4 [Enter] or /BO aux2 B4 [Enter]

MPC-20VS20-1, MPC-8H-1, MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20V-1 MPC-8H-2 specifications

The Western Telematic MPC series is renowned for its robust and versatile remote power management solutions. Among its offerings, the MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 stand out as exceptional products tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data center environments.

One of the key features across this series is the ability to monitor and control up to 20 power outlets, which allows for efficient resource management and reduces downtime. Each model in the series accommodates various configurations, including both switched and non-switched outlets. This flexibility makes it easier for operators to manage power distribution according to their specific needs.

The integration of real-time monitoring capabilities is another highlight of the MPC series. Users can track power consumption, voltage, and current for each outlet, enabling better decision-making to optimize energy usage. This feature contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of operations, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Communication is seamless with the Western Telematic MPC series, as these models are equipped with multiple network connectivity options. They support both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Telnet, facilitating easy integration with existing network management systems. Additionally, the devices can send alerts and notifications via email or SMS, keeping operators informed about any changes in power status or potential issues.

The MPC models are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. They come equipped with advanced surge protection, ensuring sensitive equipment remains safe from power spikes. The rugged construction of the units ensures they can withstand the rigors of data center environments, with an emphasis on heat dissipation and airflow management.

Security features are also a priority. The MPC series includes user authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized users from manipulating power settings. The ability to set user permissions ensures that only designated personnel can operate sensitive components, enhancing operational security.

Energy efficiency is a guiding principle in the design of the MPC series. By providing tools for monitoring and controlling power usage, these devices contribute to a reduction in energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals sought by modern enterprises.

In conclusion, the Western Telematic MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 are exemplary models in the field of remote power management. With features such as comprehensive outlet control, real-time monitoring, robust communication options, security protocols, and a focus on energy efficiency, these units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the telecommunications and data center sectors. By implementing these advanced technologies, operators can enhance their operational capabilities while also contributing to long-term sustainability.
