6.2.2.1. Applying Commands to Several Outlets - Text Interface
As described below, switching and reboot commands can be applied to only
one Switched AC Outlet, or to several outlets.
Note: When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/
Sequence Delay times will be applied as described in Section 5.5.5.1.
1. Several Outlets: To apply a command to several plugs, enter the
numbers or names for the outlets, separated by a "plus sign" ( +). For
example to switch outlets 1, 3, and 4 Off, enter the following:
/OFF 1+3+4 [Enter]
2. Series of Outlets: To apply a command to a series of outlets, enter the
number for the outlets that mark the beginning and end of the series,
separated by a colon. For example, to switch outlets 1 through 3 On,
enter the following:
/ON 1:3 [Enter]
4. All Outlets: To apply a command to all outlets, enter an asterisk in
place of the name or number. For example, to Boot all outlets, enter the
following:
/BO * [Enter]
6.2.3. Connections Between RS232 Ports - Text Interface
Two different types of connections can be made between CMS-6R4 ports;
Resident Connections and Third Party Connections.
• Resident Connections: Your resident port issues a /C command to
connect to a second port. For example, Port 4 issues the /C command to
connect to Port 5.
• Third Party Connections: (Supervisor Mode Only) Your resident port
issues a /C command to create a connection between two other ports. For
example, Port 1 is your resident port, and Port 1 issues a command to
connect Port 2 to Port 3.
Notes:
• Third Party Connections can only be initiated when the Supervisor
Mode is active.
• The Serial RS232 Ports cannot employ the /C command to initiate a
connection to the Network Port.
• You can only create connections to the ports that are allowed by the
password entered at login.
• The Web Browser Interface cannot be used to initiate port
connections. The Text Interface is always used to create connections
between ports.
