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 specied as "S*". Note however, that this
command would also be applied to any other plug name that begins
with an "S".
• Suppress Command Conrmation 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 Conrmation ("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].
• Conguration Menus: To exit from a conguration menu, press [Esc].
