Basic Configuration
5.7. Defining Plug Parameters
The Plug Parameters Menu is used to define Plug Names, boot/sequence delay times and Power
Up Default values for each RPS Switched AC Outlets. Note that this function is only available
when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level
commands. The Plug Parameters Menu allows you to define the following parameters:
•
Plug Name:
(Up to 16 Characters.)
Note:
Plug Names must begin with either a lower case alphabetic letter or upper
case alphabetic letter. Plug Names cannot begin with a number or a symbol.
•
Boot/Seq. Delay:
When more than one plug is switched On or a reboot cycle is initiated,
the Boot/Sequence delay determines how much time will elapse before the next plug
is switched On. When the Boot/Sequence Delay is applied, the RPS will wait for the
user-defined delay period before switching On the next plug. When Reboot cycles and
switching actions are initiated, the Boot/Sequence Delay will be applied as follows:
(Default = 0.5 Second.)
Reboot Cycle Delay:
During a reboot cycle, the RPS will first switch all selected
plugs "Off" (with a 0.5 second pause between each "Off" operation), and then begin
to switch selected plugs back On again, pausing for the user-defined Boot/Sequence
Delay before switching On the next plug. For example, if the Boot/Sequence Delay
for Plug 3 is ten seconds, then the RPS will pause for ten seconds before proceeding to
the next plug.
"On" Sequence Delay:
When two or more plugs are switched On, the RPS will
pause for the user-defined Boot/Sequence Delay before switching the next plug.
•
Power Up Default:
Determines how this plug will react when the Default command
(/DPL) 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 RPS will automatically switch
each plug On or Off as specified by the Power-Up Default. (Default = On).
Note:
• If you have accessed command mode using an account that permits Administrator
or SuperUser level commands, then the Default command will be applied to all
switched plugs.
• If you have accessed command mode via an User Level account, then the Default
command will only be applied to plugs allowed by your account.
•
Boot Priority:
The Boot Priority parameter determines the order in which plugs will
be switched On. The Plug that has been assigned a Boot Priority of "1" will always
be switched on first, followed by the plug that has been assigned the Boot Priority of
"2", and so forth. For more information on the Boot Priority parameter, please refer to
Section 5.7.1. (Default = All plugs prioritized according to Plug Number.)
