Manual Operation - Black Box PS568A User Manual

RACKMOUNT REMOTE POWER MANAGERS
To enable/disable automated mode, access the General Parameters menu (see
Section 4.3.1), then set the automated mode option to On. When automated
mode is enabled, power manager functions will change as follows.
1. All password security suppressed: When a user attempts to access command
mode, the password prompt will not be displayed at either the COM/RS-232
port or the network port. Unless specifically restricted by the IP security
function, all users will be allowed to access both switching and configuration
functions, and all commands will be immediately accepted. (When password
security is suppressed, you do not have to enter a password.)
2. Status screen suppressed: The status screens will not be automatically
displayed after commands are successfully executed. However, the /S
command can still be invoked to display the status screen as needed.
3. Sure? prompt suppressed: All commands are executed without prompting for
user confirmation.
4. Error messages suppressed: If the Enter key is pressed without entering a
command, the power manager will not respond with the Invalid Command
message. However, an error message will still be generated if commands are
invoked using invalid formats or arguments.
All other status display and configuration commands will still function as normal.

5.5 Manual Operation

In addition to the command-driven functions available via the Web browser
interface and text interface, the power manager's switched plugs can also be
toggled on and off manually. To manually toggle all plugs on or off, press the
Default button and hold it down for approximately three seconds.
If desired, the Default button's manual plug control ability can also be disabled via
the General Parameters menu as described in Section 4.3.1.
