The REBOOT n command will reboot or reset equipment attached to corresponding receptacle(s). 
When the command to REBOOT (n) is sent from the DS-RPC > prompt, the DS powers ‘Off’ the 
corresponding outlet(s) for approximately 10 seconds, then powers them ‘On’ in sequence. 
This command only works on outlets which were ‘On’ prior to receiving the reboot command. 
 
The LOCK n command is an admin user only command. This command allows the admin user to 
lock an outlet in its current state. The user assigned to the outlet will not be able to change the outlet’s 
state.  
Example: To lock Outlet 1, type lock 1 from the DS-RPC prompt. The unit responds with: 
 
 
 
Type “Y” for yes locks Outlet 1. Observe the status of Outlet 1 has changed to ‘Locked in the status 
menu. Likewise, typing ‘LOCK ALL’, ‘LOCK 0’, or ‘LOCK’ at the DS-RPC > prompt and 
responding “Y” for yes, locks all outlets. The UNLOCK n command work similarly as the LOCK n 
command.

The Outlet Configuration Menu allows the ‘admin’ user to manage the Users, Outlet Name, 
Confirmation menu, Status menu, Unit ID, and Alarm threshold.
