NOTES (continued from the previous page)
The plug passwords cannot include non-printable characters, spaces,
asterisks (
*
), or quotation marks.
• Boot/seq. delay: When more than one plug is switched on/off or a reboot
cycle is initiated, the boot/sequence delay determines how much time will
elapse between switching operations. (The default value is 0.5 second.)
• Power up default: Determines how this plug will react when the Default
command (
/D
) is invoked, or after power to the unit has been interrupted and
then restored. After the default command is invoked or power is restored, the
power manager will automatically switch each plug on or off as specified by the
power-up default. (The default value is On.)
Plug Passwords and Co-Location Features
The plug passwords allow you to determine which plugs an individual user will be
permitted to control. When a plug password is entered at the login prompt, the
user will be able to issue switching and reboot commands for the corresponding
plug and every other plug that shares this same password.
For example, if the password “switch” is defined for plugs 1, 2, and 3, then a user
who logs into command mode using the password “switch” will only be allowed to
issue commands to plugs 1, 2, and 3, but will not be allowed to issue commands to
the remaining plugs.
NOTE
Plug passwords do not allow access to configuration menus, and users
are only allowed to view the status of plugs permitted by their
password.
Boot/Sequence Delay Features
The boot/sequence delay value will be applied differently for reboot cycles than it
will be for simple on/off switching as described in #1 and #2 below.
1. Reboot cycles:
a) Single plug: The boot/seq. delay determines how long the plug will
remain off before it is switched back on again.
b) Several plugs: The boot/seq. delay determines how long the plug will
remain off, and also how long the power manager will pause before
proceeding to the next plug.
