Power control sequences
Notes: The settings given below are for a particular type of power switch - other power switches may require different settings.
Please refer to your power switch documentation for details about codes required by other power switches.
The structure of each power sequence (OFF, ON or Reboot) is as follows:
/Pxy=z\0D
Where:
x
is the switch box number,
y
is the power port number,
z
is ‘0’ for OFF or ‘1’ for ON
r
is for Reboot, and
\0D
represents Enter (or Carriage return).
Example 1
To switch ON port 5 of switch box 2, the code would be as follows:
• Power sequence:
P25=1\0D
Example 2
To switch OFF port 8 of switch box 3, the code would be as follows:
• Power sequence:
P38=0\0D
For details about operating this feature, see
within the Operation chapter.
To control two or more ports simultaneously
You can control up to four power ports using a single sequence. This is done using the same command structure as shown above,
plus a delay command, for each port. Immediately following a port command, insert the characters ‘\*’ before the next port
command, and so on up to four ports. For instance, to switch on ports 1 and 2 in the first power switch, the command line
would be:
P11=1\0D\*P12=1\0D
