6.3. Boot/On/Off Commands

These commands are used to Boot or toggle the On/Off status of

the NPS's two switched plugs. If the same password has been

applied to both switched plugs, commands can be directed to

Plug 1, Plug 2, or both switched plugs. If a separate User

Password has been assigned to each plug, then commands can

only be applied to the plug that is owned by the User Password

entered at log in. Plugs may be specified by name or number.

Notes:

·

When User Mode is active, commands will only be

applied to plugs owned by the User's password.

·

To apply a command to both outlets, enter an

asterisk (*) in place of the plug number or name.

Commands can only be applied to both plugs when

the unit is operating in System Mode, or when both

plugs are owned by the same User Password.

·

When commands are applied to both plugs, the

NPS will delay for approximately 1 second

between actions. For example, when switching

both plugs On, the NPS will switch Plug 1 On,

delay one second, then switch Plug 2 On.

·

Wait for the "NPS>" prompt to appear before

entering commands. The prompt will not reappear

until the previous command is complete.

·

Commands are

not

case sensitive. All commands

are invoked by pressing

[Enter]

.

·

If command confirmation is enabled, the NPS will

display the Status Screen after the Boot/On/Off

commands are successfully completed.
