There
are
three
built
in
usernames
and
passwords:
Password:
admn
Password:
genl
Password:
gen2
Usernalne:
admn
Usernalne:
genl
Usernalne:
gen2
These
usernames
cannot
be
deleted
and
by
default
all
three
have
access
to
all
IPMs.
The
“admn”
username
is
the
admin
istrative
username.
These
default
usernames
are
able
to
view
the
status
of
all
ports
in
the
power
manager
chain
even
if
they
do
not
have
access
to
the
IPMs
for
turning
power
on
and
off.
Newly
added
usernames
can
view
the
status
of
ports
to
which
they
have
power
on
and
off
access.
This
means
that
a
user
logged
in
with
any
of
the three
default
usernames can
deter
mine
the
number
ports
in
a
power
manager
by
issuing the
STATUS
command
(described
later
in
this
manual)
because
the
status
of
all
ports
will
be
reported.
A
user
logged
in
with
a
non-default
username
will
be
able
to
view
the
status
of
ports
to
which
a
username
has
power
on
and
off
access.
When
logging
in
for
the
?rst
time,
the
system
administrator
should use
the
default
administrative
username.
This
will
allow
the
system
administrator
to
con?gure
all
the
options, as
well
as
to
change
the
default
passwords.
Changing
the
pass
words
is
done
using
the
“SET
PASSWORD”
command
from
the
command
prompt.
The
command
as
well
as
the
other
administrative
commands
are
described
in
the
next
section.
The
command
prompt
interface
is
used
for
both
power
control
and
con?guration
of
some
options,
including
adding/
deleting
usernames,
changing
passwords
and
changing
the
modem
initialization
data
rate.
From
the
command
prompt,
power
control
actions
can be
applied
to
individual
IPMs
or
to
a
group
of
IPMs.
All
con?guration
changes
made
at
the
command
prompt
are
saved
to
non-volatile
RAM
and
are
effective
immediately.
Once
a
valid
username
and
password
has
been
entered,
the
power
manager
Commander
displays a
command
prompt,
“power
manager:
”.
To
get a
display
of
available
commands,
press
enter
at
the
power
manager
prompt,
which
will
show
power
manager
commands
are
“CONNECT
LOGIN
OFF
ON
QUIT
REBOOT RESYNC
SET
ADD
DEL
LIST
SHOW
STATUS
VERS”.
The
RESYNC,
SET,
ADD,
DEL,
and
LIST
commands
will
be
available
when
logged
in
with
the
administrative-level
password.
In
addition
the
SHOW
command
will
be
available
if
the
administrator
grants
SHOW
privileges
to
a
username.
By
default
the
gen1
and
gen2
usernames
have
SHOW
privi
leges.
New
usernames
do
not
have
SHOW
privileges
unless
speci?cally
granted
by
the
administrator
via the
SET
SHOW
command
described
later
in
this
manual.
The
port
name
and
group
parameters
in
the
OFF,
ON,
REBOOT,
and
STATUS
commands
are
user-de?ned
names
from
the
Power
Control
Screens.
Multiple
IPMs
or
groups
can
be
speci?ed,
each
separated
by
a
space,
up
to
50
charac
ters.
In
addition
port
names
may
be
speci?ed
as
absolute
port
names.
Preceding
the port
name
with
a
period
speci?es
an
absolute
port
name
(“.”).
Appending
the
power
manager
Board
letter
(e.g.,
“A”
for
the
?rst
board,
“B”
for
the
second
board,
etc.
with
the port
number
on
the
speci?c
board
creates
the
absolute
port
names. For
example,
the
third
port
on
the
third
power
manager
Board
in
the
chain
of
boards
would
have
an
absolute
port
name
of
“.C3”.
If
the
chain
of
power
manager
Boards
is
altered
for
any
reason, the
absolute
port
names
change.
For
example,
if
the
second
board
in
the
chain
is
removed
(perhaps
it
fails),
and what
used
to
be
the
third
board
20
25
30

50

65
12
is
now
connected
to
the
?rst
board
(it
is
now
the
second board
in
the
chain),
then
the
ab
solute
port
names
on
the
new
board
change
from
“C1,
C2,
C3,
C4
to
B
1,
B2,
B3,
B4”.
An
absolute
port
name
always
refers
to
a
single
port
on
a
single
board.
“OFF
{Port
NamelGrouplALL}
[{Port
NamelGroup}*]”
turns
off
an
individual
IPM,
a
prede?ned
group of
IPMs,
or
all
IPMs
for
which
access
is
allowed
by
the
current
password
level.
For
example
in,
“OFF
Device”
the
OFF
command
returns
information,
“n
port(s)
turned
off,
m
port(s)
locked”.
“n”
indicates
the
number
of
referenced
IPMs
that
turned
off.
“m”
indicates
the
number
of
referenced
IPMs
that
are
locked
in
their
current
state
either
by
the
administrator
or
because
the
current
username
does
not
have
access
rights
to
that
IPM.
“(n+m)”
is
the
total
number
of
IPMs
that
were
referenced
by
the
parameters.
“ON
{Port
NamelGrouplALL}
[{Port
NamelGroup}*]”
turns
on
an
individual
IPM,
a
prede?ned
group
of
IPMs,
or
all
IPMs
for
which
access
is
allowed
by
the
current
password
level.
For
example
in,
“ON
Device”,
the
ON
command
returns
information,
“n
port(s)
turned
on
m
port(s)
locked”.
“n”
indicates
the
number
of
referenced
IPMs
that
turned
on.
“m”
indicates
the
number
of
referenced
IPMs
that
are
locked
in
their
current
state
either
by
the
administrator
or
because
the
current
username
does
not
have
access
rights
to that
IPM.
“(n+m)”
is
the
total
number
of
IPMs
that
were
referenced
by
the
parameters.
“REBOOT
{Port
Name
|
Group
|ALL}
[{Port
Name|Group}*]”
turns
off,
pauses,
and
turns
back
on,
an
individual
IPM,
a
prede?ned
group of
IPMs,
or
all
IPMs
for
which
access
is
allowed
by
the
current
password
level.
The
delay
before
turning
back
on
is
either
15
seconds,
or
the
Minimum-Off
Time
from
the
Power
Control
Screen,
which
ever
is
greater.
For
example
in,
“REBOOT
Device”,
the
REBOOT
command
returns
information,
11
port(s)
rebooted,
m
port(s)
locked.
“n”
indicates
the
number
of
referenced
IPMs
that
were
rebooted.
“m”
indicates
the
number
of
refer
enced
IPMs
that
are
locked
in
their
current
state
either
by
the
administrator
or
because
the current
username
does
not
have
access
rights
to
that
IPM.
“(n+m)”
is
the
total
number
of
IPMs
that
were
referenced
by
the
parameters.
“STATUS
{Port
Name
|
Group
|ALL}
[{Port
Name|Group}*]”
returns
the
status
of an
individual
IPM,
a
prede?ned
group
of
IPMs,
or
all
IPMs.
For
the
three
default
usernames
(e.g.,
admn,
gen1,
and
gen2),
this
command
can
report
the
status
for
an
IPM
for
which
power
control
access
is
not
allowed.
For
all
other
usernames
this
command
can
report
status
for
IPMs
for
which
a
username
has
power
control
access.
For
example
in
“STATUS
Device”,
the
STATUS
com
mand
returns
information
in
the
form,
“n
port(s)
on,
m
port(s)
off”.
“11”
indicates
the
number
of
referenced
IPMs
that
are on.
“m”
indicates
the
number
of
referenced
IPMs
that
are
off.
“(n+m)”
is
the
total
number
of
IPMs
that
were
referenced
by
the
parameters.
Regarding“SHOW[Page|MODEM]
[CONNECTI
[SWITCHIMODEMILINKICONSOLEINETWORK|]”,
with
no
parameter
or
with
a
page
name,
this
command
puts
the
power
manager
Commander
into
the
screen
oriented
interface
mode. With
no
parameter
speci?ed,
display
starts
at
the
Power
Control
Screen
of
the
?rst
four
power
modules.
If
a
page
name
is
speci?ed,
display
starts
at
the
Power
Control
Screen
with
that
page
name.
With
the
MODEM
parameter,
a
page
is
displayed
that
shows
the current
modem
data
rate
and
the
current
status
of
the
modem
initialization
strings.
With
the
CONNECT
parameter,
one
of
the
?ve
serial
port
names
listed
above
must
be
speci?ed.
