Assign a name to the PowerGate that describes its location. Also, assign labels to each outlet which describes the device
plugged into that outlet. This information will be critical when it comes time to reboot a device. You can also assign voice
messages to the PowerGate and each outlet. The voice messages will allow you to control equipment via telephone using
touch-tones. Use the Voice Message programming screen to record your messages.

To switch an outlet from the IMS ConsoleView Software, left-click on the word PowerGate within the menu tree. The screen
below will appear. Click on the “name” or number of the outlet(s) you wish to switch. In the figure, outlet 5 is selected.
Multiple outlets can be switched at the same time by holding down either the Shift key (to select a continuous block) or the
Control Key (to select a discontinuous assortment of outlets). After making your selections, click the On, Off or Cycle but-
ton to execute the command. When Cycle is selected, the outlet will be switched Off for 10 seconds and then will automati-
cally switch back On. When you select Off or Cycle, an additional prompt appears to confirm that you really want to remove
power from the selected device. Note that the PowerGate will switch each outlet after a short delay, but the PowerGate2 will
switch all selected outlets simultaneously.
