NBB-1600-D20/D16 Series: Network Boot Bars - User's Guide
To enable the Automated Mode, access the General Parameters menu (see
Section 5.3.1) and then set the "Automated Mode" option to the "On" state.
When the Automated Mode is enabled, NBB functions will change
as follows:
1. All Password Security Suppressed: When a user attempts to access
the command mode, the password prompt will not be displayed at either
the Console Port or Network Port. Unless specifically restricted by the
IP Security Function, all users will be allowed to access both switching
and configuration functions, and all commands will be immediately
accepted without the requirement to enter a password.
2. Status Screen Suppressed: The status screens will not be
automatically displayed after commands are successfully executed.
Note however, that the /S command can still be invoked to display the
status screen if needed.
3. "Sure?" Prompt Suppressed: All commands are executed without
prompting for user confirmation.
4. Error Messages Suppressed: If the [Enter] key is pressed without
entering a command, the NBB will not respond with the "Invalid
Command" message. Note however, that an error message will still be
generated if commands are invoked using invalid formats or arguments.
All other status display and configuration commands will still function
as normal.
6.5. Manual Operation
In addition to the command driven functions available via the Web Browser
Interface and Text Interface, the NBB’s switched plugs can also be toggled
On and Off manually. To manually toggle plugs On or Off, press the Manual
Control Button, and hold it down for approximately three seconds.
If desired, the Manual Switch Button Option (accessed via the General
Parameters Menu), can be used to completely disable the manual power button
as described in Section 5.3.1.
For more information on the Manual Switch Button Parameter, please refer to
Section 5.3.1.
Note: When the Manual Switch Button is used, Boot / Sequence
Delay Times will be applied.
