Basic Operation
5.3.2. Switching and Reboot Commands - Text Interface
These commands can be used to switch or reboot the VMR/NPS Series unit’s switched
plugs, and can also be used to set plugs to the user-defined Power-Up Default values.
Plugs may be specified by name or number.
Notes:
• If an asterisk appears in the "Status" column for any given plug, this indicates
that the plug is currently busy, processing a previously issued command.
• If a switching or reboot command is directed to a plug that is already busy
completing a previous command, then the new command will be placed in a
queue until the plug is ready to receive additional commands.
• Administrator and SuperUser level accounts can use the Port and Plug Status
Screen to display information for all serial ports and switched outlets.
• User and ViewOnly level accounts can only use the Port and Plug Status
Screen to display information for serial ports and outlets that are allowed by
the account.
• Administrator or SuperUser level accounts can direct switching and reboot
commands to all plugs.
• User Level accounts can only direct switching and reboot commands to the
plugs that are specifically allowed by that account.
• The Status Screen will be displayed after switching and reboot commands
are successfully completed.
• When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence Delay
times and user-defined Plug Priority values will be applied as described in
Section 6.6.
• Text Interface commands are
not
case sensitive. When used in On/Off/
Reboot command lines, plug names and plug group names are also
not
case sensitive.
When switching and reboot commands are executed, the VMR/NPS Series unit will
display a "Sure?" prompt, wait for user response, and then complete the command. The
unit will pause for a moment while the command is executed, and then return to the Port
and Plug Status Screen.
