Chapter 3: Accessing the PM IPDU via the Command Line Interface        

31

temperature

The temperature command displays the PM IPDU’s surrounding temperature and the maximum 
temperature the unit has registered (temperature peak). It may also be used to clear the saved peak 
temperature value.

Syntax 

temperature [<IPDU#>|<IPDU_ID>]|reset

Arguments

Examples

To get the temperature for all units in a daisy chain, enter:

To get the temperature for specific unit, provide the unit number as an argument, enter 
the following.

To reset the maximum temperature registered and use reset as an argument, enter:

unassign

The unassign command removes the assignment of an outlet or group of outlets from a given user. 
This command is available to the admin user only. 

Syntax 

unassign <outlet_string> <user>

<IPDU#>

IPDU number in a daisy chain

<IPDU_ID>

Identification string previously set by the id command

reset

Resets the maximum temperature registered
