Scripting

The Command Line Interface (CLI) for American
Power Conversion (APC

®

) Switched Rack PDUs

enables you to create scripts for automated
operation. The existing text-based control console
interface to Switched Rack PDUs is difficult to use
for scripting because it is menu-driven. APC will
support both interfaces.

PDU features not supported by the CLI

The Web, control console, and SNMP interfaces
for Switched Rack PDUs support the following
features that do not have corresponding CLI
commands:

• Configuration for scheduling
• Configuration of synchronized outlet groups
• Advanced outlet control commands, such as

sequenced on

• Event logging, event actions, and other

features that are provided through the APC
AOS firmware module and that you use for
monitoring through the Web interface and
control console.

Integration with APC Rack KVM products

You can use the CLI to create scripts to automate
the management of your Switched Rack PDUs
through the following APC Rack Keyboard, Video,
Mouse (KVM) products.

• AP5401

The CLI is not supported by APC
