9.1.2. The Plug Group Control Screen - Web Browser Interface
The Plug Group Control Screen is used to send switching and reboot commands to
the user-dened Plug Groups. As described in Section 5.6, Plug Groups allow you to
specify a group of outlets that are dedicated to a similar purpose or client, and then
direct switching commands to the group, rather than switching one plug at a time.
To apply power switching commands to Plug Groups, rst access the Outlet
Managed PDU Command Mode (see Section 5.1.) Click on the "Plug Group
Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the Plug Group Control
Screen. When the Plug Group Control Screen appears, click the down arrow in the
"Action" column for the desired Plug Group(s), then select the desired switching
option from the dropdown menu and click on the "Conrm Plug Actions" button
When the "Conrm Plug Group Actions" button is pressed, the Outlet Managed PDU
will display a screen which lists the selected action(s) and asks for conrmation
before proceeding. To implement the selected plug group action(s), click on the
"Execute Plug Group Actions" button. The Outlet Managed PDU will display a
screen which indicates that a switching operation is in progress, then display the Plug
Status screen when the command is complete. At that time, the Status Screen will
list the updated On/Off status of each plug.
Notes:
• When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/
Sequence Delay times will be applied as described in Section 5.7.
• If a switching or reboot command is directed to a plug that
is already in the process of being switched or rebooted by a
previous command, then the new command will be placed in a
queue until the plug is ready to receive additional commands.
• When the Plug Group Control Screen is displayed by an account
that permits Administrator or SuperUser level commands, all
user-defined Plug Groups will be displayed.
• When the Plug Control Screen is displayed by a User level
account, the screen will only include the Plug Groups that are
specifically allowed for
that account.
