17. Command Reference Guide
17.1. Command Conventions
Most commands described in this section conform to the following conventions:
Text Interface: Commands discussed in this section, can only be invoked
via the Text Interface. These commands cannot be invoked via the Web
Browser Interface.
Slash Character: Most Outlet Managed PDU Text Interface commands
begin with the Slash Character (/).
Apply Command to All Plugs: When an asterisk is entered as the argument
of the /ON (Switch Plugs On), /OFF (Switch Plugs Off) or /BOOT (Reboot
Plugs) commands, the command will be applied to all plugs. For example, to
reboot all allowed plugs, type /BOOT * [Enter].
Command Queues: If a switching or reboot command is directed to a plug
that is already being switched or rebooted by a previous command, then the
new command will be placed into a queue until the plug is ready to receive
additional commands.
"Busy" Plugs: If the "Status" column in the Plug Status Screen includes an
asterisk, this means that the plug is currently busy, and is in the process of
completing a previously issued command. If a new command is issued to a
busy plug, then the new command will placed into a queue to be executed
later, when the plug is ready to receive additional commands.
Plug Name Wild Card: It is not always necessary to enter the entire plug
name. Plug names can be abbreviated in command lines by entering the
rst character(s) of the name followed by an asterisk (*). For example, a
plug named "SERVER" can be specied as "S*". Note however, that this
command would also be applied to any other plug name that begins
with an "S".
Suppress Command Conrmation Prompt: When the /ON (Switch Plug
On), /OFF (Switch Plug Off), /BOOT (Reboot Plug) or /DPL (Default All
Plugs) commands are invoked, the ",Y" option can be included to override
the Command Conrmation ("Sure?") prompt. For example, to reboot Plug
A4 without displaying the Sure prompt, type /BOOT A4,Y [Enter].
Enter Key: Most commands are invoked by pressing [Enter].
Conguration Menus: To exit from a conguration menu, press [Esc].
