Figure 3-3. The IPS Plug Status screen (text interface).
NOTE
If you contact the IPS from a node that is not on the same subnet, either
change your PC’s IP address to an address that is on the same subnet
as the IPS (for example, 192.168.168. xxx), or access the IPS command
mode via modem or console port and define network parameters as
described in Section 5.3.3.
b) Modem access: Start your communications program and dial the number
for the external modem. The IPS Plug Status screen (see Figure 3-3)
displays, followed by the IPS> command prompt.
c) Console port access (local PC): Start your communication program (9600,
8, N, 1). Make certain that it is set for the PC COM port that is attached to
the IPS, then press
Enter
. The IPS Plug Status screen (see Figure 3-3)
displays, followed by the IPS> command prompt.
2. Test switching commands: When the IPS is powered on, the switched AC
outlet is set to the On position. To test on/off/reboot functions, proceed as
follows:
a) Reboot outlet: To initiate a boot cycle, go to the IPS> command prompt,
type
/BOOT 1
and press
Enter
. Power to the switched AC outlet will be
switched off. After the boot delay period (default is 5 seconds), power to
the switched outlet will then be switched back on.
