DUAL-PORT NETWORK POWER SWITCH
2. Both plugs: To apply a command to both owned plugs, enter an asterisk in
place of the name or number. For example:
/ON * or /BO *
5.4 The Default Command
The default command (/D) sets plugs to their default on/off status. The default
status is set using the Plug Parameters menus described in Section 4.5. Plugs will be
set to these defaults when /D is invoked or after a power interruption. To set both
plugs to defaults, type /D and press [Enter].
NOTES
When user mode is active, this command will only be applied to plugs
owned by the user’s password. The command will not be applied to a
plug that is owned by another user password.
When the system mode is active, this command will be applied to both
plugs.
This command will always be applied to all owned plugs. It cannot be
directed only to a specific plug.
5.5 The Automated Mode
The automated mode allows the Dual-Port Network Power Switch to perform
on/off/boot/default/exit commands without displaying menus or generating
response messages. Automated mode allows the Switch to be controlled by a
computer (or another automatic system) that can generate commands to control
power switching functions without human intervention.
When the automated mode is enabled, the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /D, and /X
commands are executed without a “Sure?” confirmation prompt and without
command response messages; the only reply to these commands is the “TPS>”
prompt, which is displayed when the command is complete.
NOTE
When Automated Mode is enabled, a) all Switch password security
functions are disabled, b) you can access system level command
functions (including the configuration menus), and c) you can control
both plugs without entering a password. If you need to enable the
automated mode but want to restrict network access to Switch
configuration menus, enable and configure the IP Security function as
described in Section 4.6.
