Basic Configuration
5.6.2. Adding Plug Groups
The "Add Plug Group to Directory" option allows you to create new Plug Groups and
assign plug access rights to each group. The Add Plug Group function is only available
when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator
Level commands.
The Add Plug Group Menu can be used to define the following parameters for each new
account:
• PlugGroupName: Assigns a name to the Plug Group. (Default = undefined.)
• PlugAccess: Determines which plugs this Plug Group will be allowed to control.
(Default = undefined.)
Note: After you have finished defining or editing Plug Group parameters, make
certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface,
click on the "Add Plug Group" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface,
press the [Esc] key several times until the VMR/NPS displays the "Saving
Configuration" message and the cursor returns to the command prompt.
5.6.3. Modifying Plug Groups
The "Modify Plug Group" function allows you to edit existing Plug Groups in order
to change plug access rights. Note that this function is only available when you
have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level
commands.
Once you have accessed the Modify Plug Group menu, use the menu options to
redefine parameters in the same manner that is used for the Add Plug Group menu, as
discussed in Section 5.6.2.
Note: After you have finished changing or editing parameters, make certain
to save the changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click
on the "Modify Plug Groups" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface,
press the [Esc] key several times until the VMR/NPS displays the "Saving
Configuration" message and the cursor returns to the command prompt.
5.6.4. Deleting Plug Groups
This function is used to delete individual Plug Groups. Note that this function is only
available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits
Administrator Level commands.
Note: Deleted Plug Groups cannot be automatically restored.
