– Turn a Port On
The on command is used to turn on a port or group of ports. If multiple ports are turned on in one
command the turn on time is staggered by rbdelay value to each port.
Any port may be referred to by either Port Numbers or Port Names. All ports with identical port names will
be turned on together (as a Port Group)
The keyword “all” is a valid argument
Examples:
Set Box 1, Ports 5 & 7 ON
on 1 5,7
Set all boxes, ports 1 through 5, ON
on 0 1-5
If Ports 1, 4 and 8 are named “SUN” in Box #2, then:
on 2 SUN
sets ports 1, 4 & 8 ON in Box #2.
***
In order to limit current surges, each port is turned on at rbdelay second intervals. The first port in
a sequence would turn on immediately; the next would wait until its rbdelay had expired before
turning on an so on.
passwd - Change Password
The factory password of “pass” can be changed to any string of
1 to 16 characters
(including all
printable characters), not including „space‟ or „comma‟, and the new password must not start with a
number.
