OUTLET MANAGED PDU
144
9.3. The Automated Mode
The Automated Mode allows the Outlet Managed PDU to execute switching and
reboot commands, without displaying menus or generating response messages.
Automated Mode is designed to allow the Outlet Managed PDU to be controlled by
a device which can generate commands to control power switching functions without
human intervention.
When Automated Mode is enabled, the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /DPL and /X commands
are executed without a "Sure?" conrmation prompt and without command response
messages; the only reply to these commands is the command prompt, which is
displayed when the command is complete.
Note that although Automated Mode can be enabled using either the Web Browser
Interface or Text Interface, Automated Mode is designed primarily for users who
wish to send ASCII commands to the Outlet Managed PDU without operator
intervention, and therefore does not specically apply to the Web Browser Interface.
When Automated Mode is enabled, the Web Browser Interface can still be used to
invoke On / Off / Boot commands.
Notes:
• When Automated Mode is enabled, all Outlet Managed PDU
password security functions are disabled, and users are able
to access System Level command functions (including the
configuration menus) and control plugs without entering a
password.
• If you need to enable the Automated Mode, but want to restrict
network access to Outlet Managed PDU configuration menus, it
is recommended to enable and configure the IP Security Function
as described in Section 5.9.3.
To enable/disable Automated Mode, access the System Parameters menu (see
Section 5.3,) then set the "Automated Mode" option to "On". When Automated
Mode is enabled, Outlet Managed PDU functions will change as follows:
1. All Password Security Suppressed: When a user attempts to access
command mode, the password prompt will not be displayed at either the
Console Port or the Network Port. Unless specically restricted by the IP
Security Function, all users will be allowed to access both switching and
conguration functions, and all commands will be immediately accepted
without the requirement to enter a password.
