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 

first character(s) of the name followed by an asterisk (

*).  For example, a 

plug named "SERVER" can be specified as "

S*".  Note however, that this 

command would also be applied to any other plug name that begins  

with an "S".

•  Suppress Command Confirmation 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 Confirmation ("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].
•  Configuration Menus:  To exit from a configuration menu, press [Esc].
