7.Disconnect Timeout: Determines how long the NPS-2HD will wait for additional commands. Type 7, press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default determined by Option Switch 4; Factory Setting = 2 Min.).

Note: It is recommended that the Disconnect Timeout should be set at the lowest acceptable value. Since only one port is allowed to access the command mode at a given time, shorter timeout values will decrease the chance of other users being shut out of command mode if a user fails to disconnect when finished communicating with

the unit.

8.Command Confirmation: When enabled, the NPS-2HD will display a "Sure?" prompt before completing the /T, /X, /R, /BOOT, /ON, /OFF, /D and "A" commands, and will also display the System Status screen after commands are successfully completed. When disabled, the "Sure?" prompt is suppressed, and the Status Screen is not sent when commands are complete. (Default = Enabled).

9.Automated Mode: When enabled, the NPS will execute the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /D, and /X commands without displaying the confirmation prompt, status screen, or confirmation messages. This allows the NPS to be controlled by a device that generates commands to control power switching without human interaction. For more information, please refer to Section 6.5. (Default = Off).

Note: When this option is enabled, NPS password security functions are disabled, and users are able to access System Level menus and control both plugs without entering a password.

10.Button Mode: Enables/disables the manual plug control buttons on the NPS-2HD front panel. When enabled, the NPS's two switched plugs can be toggled On and Off by pressing and holding the manual control button for

approximately one second. When disabled, the manual 5-6control buttons will have no effect. (Default = On).
