9.2.2. Applying Commands to Several Plugs - Text Interface
As described below, switching and reboot commands can be applied to only one
Switched AC Outlet, or to an assortment of outlets.
Note:
When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence
Delay times will be applied as described in Section 5.7.
1. Switch Several Plugs: To apply a command to several plugs, enter the
numbers of the desired plugs, separated by commas or plus signs. For
example to switch plugs A1, A3, and A4 Off, enter either of the
following commands:
/OFF A1+A3+A4 [Enter]
or
/OFF A1,A3,A4 [Enter]
Note:
In order for the "+" or "," operators to work, there must be no spaces
between the plug name or number and the plus sign or comma.
2. Switch a Series of Plugs: To apply a command to a series of plugs, enter
the numbers for the plugs that mark the beginning and end of the series,
separated by a colon. For example to switch On plugs A1 through A4 enter
the following:
/ON A1:A4 [Enter]
4. All Plugs: To apply a command to all plugs, enter an asterisk in place of the
name or number. For example, to Boot all plugs, enter the following:
/BO * [Enter]
Note:
When this command is invoked by a User level account, it will only
be applied to the plugs that are specifically allowed for that account.
