5.4 Automated Mode
The automated mode allows the power manager to execute switching and reboot
commands without displaying menus or generating response messages. Automated
mode is designed to allow the power manager to be controlled by a device that can
generate commands to control power switching functions without human
intervention.
When automated mode is enabled, the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, /D, and /X
commands are executed without a
Sure? confirmation prompt and without
command response messages; the only reply to these commands is the RPM>
prompt that appears when the command is complete.
NOTES
Although automated mode can be enabled using either the Web browser
interface or text interface, automated mode is designed primarily for
users who want to send ASCII commands to the power manager without
operator intervention; therefore, it does not specifically apply to the
Web browser interface. When automated mode is enabled, the Web
browser interface can still be used to invoke on/off/boot commands.
When automated mode is enabled, all power manager password
security functions are disabled, and users are able to access system
level command functions (including the configuration menus) and
control plugs without entering a password.
If you need to enable the automated mode but want to restrict network
access to power manager configuration menus, we recommend that you
enable and configure the IP Security feature as described in Section
4.3.4.
To enable/disable automated mode, access the General Parameters menu (see
Section 4.3.1 ), then set the automated mode option to On. When automated
mode is enabled, power manager functions will change as follows.
1. All password security suppressed: When a user attempts to access command
mode, the password prompt will not be displayed at either the COM/RS-232
port or the network port. Unless specifically restricted by the IP security
function, all users will be allowed to access both switching and configuration
functions, and all commands will be immediately accepted. (When password
security is suppressed, you do not have to enter a password.)
2. Status screen suppressed: The status screens will not be automatically
displayed after commands are successfully executed. However, the /S
command can still be invoked to display the status screen as needed.
