Command Reference Guide
/RB Reboot Options
Displays a menu that is used to configure Scheduled Reboots and Ping-No-Answer
Reboots. Scheduled Reboots allow the VMR/NPS to be rebooted on a regular basis,
according to a user defined schedule. Ping-No-Answer Reboots allow the VMR/NPS to
automatically reboot user-designated outlets when a user-specified IP address does not
respond to a Ping command. For more information on Reboot options, please refer to
Section 6.
Note: If desired, the Ping-No-Answer Reboot function can also be configured
to send email notification whenever a Ping-No-Answer Reboot is generated. For
more information, please refer to Section 7.5.

/AC Alarm Configuration Parameters
Displays a menu that is used to configure and enable the Over Current Alarms, Over
Temperature Alarms, Circuit Breaker Open Alarm, Lost Voltage Alarm, Ping-No-
Answer Alarm, Invalid Access Lockout Alarm and Plug Current Alarm. When properly
configured, the Over Current Alarms (VMR Only) and Over Temperature Alarms offer
the option of "Load Shedding", which allows the unit to automatically switch Off user-
specified non-essential outlets when temperature or current readings exceed user-
defined values. For more information on Alarm Configuration, please refer to Section 7.
Note: Current and Power Metering functions are not available on NPS units.

be used to restore the unit to previously saved parameters. When the /I command is
invoked, the unit will offer the following reboot options:
• Unit to Reboot
• Reboot Only (Do NOT default parameters)
• Reboot & Default (Keep IP Parameters & SSH Keys)
• Reboot & Default (Default ALL parameters)
• Reboot & Restore Last Known Working Configuration
