9. Operation
The Outlet Managed PDU offers two separate command interfaces; the Web Browser
Interface and the Text Interface. Both interfaces offer essentially the same command
options and features, and in most cases, parameters dened via the Web Browser
Interface will also apply when communicating via the Text Interface (and vice versa.)
9.1. Operation via the Web Browser Interface
When using the Web Browser Interface, switching commands are invoked via the
Plug Control Screen and Plug Group Control Screen.
9.1.1. The Plug Control Screen - Web Browser Interface
The Plug Control Screen lists the On/Off status of the Outlet Managed PDU’s
Switched Outlets and is used to control switching and rebooting of the outlets. To
invoke power switching commands, rst access the Outlet Managed PDU command
mode (for more information, see Section 5.1.) After accessing command mode, click
on the "Plug Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the Plug
Control Screen.
When the Plug Control Screen appears, click the down arrow in the "Action" column
for the desired outlet(s), then select the desired switching option from the dropdown
menu and click on the "Conrm Plug Actions" button.
