The
SHOW

is
always
available
to
the
default
usemames
(e.g.,
admn,
gen1
and
gen2).
By
default

command
attempts
to
make
a
connection
to
a
serial
device
attached
to
one
of
the
four
pass-through
ports
(CONSOLE,
MODEM,
LINK
or
NETWORK)
or
to
one
of
4
side
switch
ports
that
are
identi?ed
by
the
power
manager
Port

of
the
IPM
(IPM

on
the
board.
That
is,
the
?rst
side
switch
port
is
identi?ed
by
the
Port

of
the
?rst
IPM,
the
second

port
is
identi?ed
by
the

etc.
The
CONNECT
command
can
also
be
used
to
connect
to
1
of
16
possible
serial
ports
that
are
connected
on
the
LINK
port
at
the
end
of
a
chain
of
power
managers.
If
the
CONNECT
command
is
entered
with
a
single
parameter
which
is
a
number
from
1
to
16,
the
connection
is
attempted
to
one
of
the
ports
attached
to
the
LINK
port
at
the
end
of
the
chain.
To
ease
the
use
of
the
CONNECT
command,
an
adminis
trator
can
con?gure
any
of
the
possible
serial
ports
that
are
available
with
names.
The
CONNECT
command
can
then
be
used
with
the
assigned
name
(e.g.,
the
Serial
Port
Name
parameter)
to
connect
to
the port
associated
with
the
Serial
Port
Name.
When
the
CONNECT
command
is
used
with
a
Serial
Port
Name
or
with
a
number
from
1
to
16
as
a
param
eter,
the
IPM
access
restrictions
do
not
apply.
All
users
can
use
the
CONNECT
command
to
connect
to
any
serial
port
that
has
a
Serial
Port
Name
or
is
accessed
with
a
number
from
1
to
16.
If
the
CONNECT
command
is
entered
with
no
parameters,
a
list
of
possible
names
is
displayed
on
the
screen.
A
user
can
then
use
the
CONNECT
command
with
one
of
the
names
displayed
to
attempt
a
serial
port
connection.
The
adminis
trator
can
use
the
ADD,
DEL,
and
LIST
commands
to
set
up
the
Serial
Port
Name
con?guration.
For
all
CONNECT
commands,
the
power
manager
defaults
to
requiring
that
the
attached
device
assert
both
Data
Set
Ready (DSR)
and
Clear
To
Send
(CTS),
in
order
to
suc
cessfully
connect.
These
requirements
can
be
individually
enabled
and
disabled
with
the
“SET
CONNECT”
command.
When
a
connection
is
successful,
the
message
“Connection
complete”
will
be
displayed,
at
which
point
communication
to
the
attached
device
will
be
transparent
through
the
power
manager.
When
?nished
communicating
to
the
serial
device,
type
“!*login<CR>”.
The
keyword
“login”
is
not
case
sensitive.
This
disconnection
character
sequence
returns
a
user
to
the
login
username
prompt
at
which
point
a
user
may
login
nor
mally
to
the
power
manager.
A
disconnection
will also
automatically
occur
when
CD
or
DSR
go
inactive
(as
caused
by
hanging
up
a
modem
or
exiting
a
communications
program)
or
when
a
Telnet
session
is
dis
connected.
LOGIN
brings
up
the
“Usemame:

prompt
to
allow
a
user
to
re-login
under
a
different
username.
No
parameters.
RESYNC
ends
the
session
and
resynchronizes
the
chain
of
boards.
This
command
should
be
issued
after
adding
or
removing
a
board
from
the
chain
if
all
of
the
chain
is
not
accessible.
This
is
an
administrative-level
command.

command.
There
are
two
required
parameters
with
the
command.
The
?rst
is
one
of
?ve
possible
serial
port
names.
The
SWITCH
serial
port
name
is
for
the
side-switch
connection.
All
four
of
the
possible
side-switch
connections
are
controlled
by
setting
the
SWITCH
serial
port.
It
is
not
possible
to
set
individual
side-switch
connections
to
different
signal
values.
DSRCHECK
requires
that
DSR
be
active
from
the
attached
device
to
connect.
NODSRCHECK
ignores
that
state
of
DSR.
CTSCHECK
requires
that
CTS
be
active
from
the
attached
device
to
connect.
NOCTSCHECK
ignores
that
state
of
CTS.
The
defaults
are
DSRCHECK
and
CTSCHECK.
“SET

{Location}”
sets
the location descrip
tion
?eld
of
the
Power

chain.
This
is
an
alternative
to
entering
the location
description
on
each
Power

which
allows
each
Power
Control
Screen
to
have
a
unique
name.
With
this
command,
spaces
can
be
entered
in
the
description,
whereas
