7.2. Scheduled Reboot
The Scheduled Reboot feature can be used to reboot one or more outlets according to
a user-defined schedule, or to automatically turn outlets Off and then On according to a
user defined schedule.
In order to configure a Scheduled Reboot, you must access command mode using a
password that permits access to Administrator level commands. In the Text Interface,
the Scheduled Reboot configuration menu is accessed via the Reboot Options menu
(/RB). In the Web Browser Interface, the Scheduled Reboot configuration menu is
accessed via the Reboot Options link. The Scheduled Reboot configuration menu can
be used to Add, Modify, View or Delete Scheduled Reboot functions.
Note:
After you have finished defining or editing Scheduled Reboot
parameters, make certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the
Web Browser Interface, click on the "Add Scheduled Reboot" button to save
parameters; in the Text Interface, press the
[Esc]
key several times until the
VMR/NPS displays the "Saving Configuration" message and the cursor returns to
the command prompt.
7.2.1. Adding Scheduled Reboots
The VMR/NPS allows up to 54 Scheduled Reboots to be defined. The Add Scheduled
Reboot menu allows you to define the following parameters for each new Scheduled
Reboot:
•
Scheduled Reboot Name:
Assigns a name to this Scheduled Reboot.
(Default = undefined.)
•
Plug Action:
Determines whether the Scheduled Reboot will result in the outlet(s)
being switched Off, or cycled Off and then On again (Reboot.) Note that when "Off"
is selected, the "Day On" option and the "Time On" option can be used to select a
time and day when the outlet(s) will be switched back On again. (Default = Off.)
•
Time:
Determines the time of the day that this Scheduled Reboot will occur on.
(Default = 12:00.)
•
Day Access:
This prompt provides access to a submenu which is used to
determine which day(s) of the week this Scheduled Reboot will be performed. The
Day Access parameter can also be used to schedule a daily reboot; to schedule
a daily reboot, use the Day Access submenu to select every day of the week.
(Default = undefined.)
Note:
If you wish to Schedule the VMR/NPS to switch an outlet On at one time
and then switch the outlet Off at another time, you must define two separate
scheduled actions. The first action would be used to switch the outlet On, and
the second action would be used to switch the outlet Off.
