OUTLET MANAGED PDU
46
5.3.6. Scripting Options
The Scripting Options submenu provides access to parameters that are used to set up
the Outlet Managed PDU for running various scripts.
Notes:
• To access Scripting Options parameters via the Text Interface,
first type /F and press [Enter] to display the System Parameters
Menu, then key in the number for the Scripting Options item and
press [Enter].
• To access the Scripting Options parameters via the Web Browser
Interface, place the cursor over the "General Parameters" link,
wait for the flyout menu to appear, then click on the "Scripting
Options" link.
The Scripting Options menu allows the following parameters to be dened:
• Command Conrmation: Enables/Disables the Command Conrmation
feature. When enabled, a "Sure" prompt will be displayed before power
switching and reboot commands are executed. When disabled, commands will
be executed without further prompting. (Default = On.)
• Automated Mode: When enabled, the Outlet Managed PDU will execute
switching and reboot commands without displaying a conrmation prompt,
status screen or conrmation messages. For more information, please refer to
Section 5.3.6.1 or Section 9.3. (Default = Off.)
Note:
When the Automated Mode is enabled, security functions are
suppressed, and users are able to access configuration menus and
control plugs without entering a password. If security is a concern
and the Automated Mode is required, it is recommended to use the
IP Security feature (Section 5.9.3) to restrict access.
• Command Prompt: Allows the Text Interface command prompt to be set to
either "OMPDU", "EMPC" or "RPM." (Default = OMPDU.)
• RPM Mode: This parameter sets up the Outlet Managed PDU for use with
command scripts that were written for compatible Remote Reboot Switches.
When the RPM Mode is enabled, the "RPM" command prompt will be
displayed in the Text Mode, and only the "password" prompt will be displayed
when logging into the unit (RPM Series units may not display a "username"
prompt.) (Default = Off.)
