CHAPTER 6: Operation

6.6 Manual Operation

In addition to the command-driven functions available via the Web browser
interface and text interface, the IPS’s switched plugs can also be toggled on and off
manually. To manually toggle plug(s) on or off, press the manual control button
(Plug), and hold it down for approximately one second; the corresponding plug(s)
toggle on or off.

If desired, use the button mode parameter (accessed via the General Parameters
menu in both the Web browser interface and text interface) to disable the manual
power button completely. In addition, the button mode parameter also restricts
manual control to the master’s switched plug only, or allows the manual control
button (Plug) to control switched outlets on the IPS and all connected satellites.

For more information on the button mode parameter, please refer to
