The Status Screens
8.3. The Plug Status Screen
The Plug Status screen shows the On/Off status of the VMR/NPS's switched outlets,
and lists user-defined Plug Names, Boot/Sequence Delay values, and Default On/Off
settings.
Note:
• When the Plug Status Screen is viewed by an "Administrator" or "SuperUser"
level account, all VMR/NPS plugs are listed. When the Plug Status Screen is
viewed by a "User" or "ViewOnly" level account, the screen will list only the
outlets that are allowed by that account.
• Section 5.7 describes the procedure for configuring the plug parameters that
are listed in the Plug Status Screen.
To display the Plug Status Screen via the Text Interface, type /S and press [Enter]. To
display the Plug Status Screen via the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Plug Status"
link. Note that when the /S command is invoked via the Text Interface, the command
line can also include arguements that display On/Off status for an individual outlet, two
or more specific outlets, or a range of outlets:
/S Displays configuration details and ON/Off status for all switched outlets.
/S s Displays On/Off status for an individual outlet, where s is the name or
number of the desired outlet.
/S s+s Displays On/Off status for two or more specific outlets, where s is the
number or name of each desired outlet. A plus sign (+) is entered between
each outlet number or name.
/S s:s Displays On/Off status for a range of outlets, where s is the number or name
of the outlet at the beginning and end of the range of desired outlets. A
colon (:) is entered between the two outlet numbers or names that mark the
beginning of the range and the end of the range.
The Plug Status Screen lists the following parameters for each switched outlet:
• Plug: The alphanumeric number of each switched outlet.
Note: If an asterisk appears next to the plug number in this column, this
indicates that the plug is "busy", and still in the process of completing a
previous command. This could be a command that was invoked by the current
user or another user.
• Name: The user-defined name for each switched outlet.
• Status: The current On/Off status of each switched outlet. If the Status column
includes an asterisk, this means that this outlet is busy completing another
command, that was previously invoked, either by you or another user.
• BootSeq.Delay: The user-defined Boot/Sequence Delay for each switched outlet.
• Default: The Default On/Off value for each switched outlet.
• Priority: The user-defined priority setting for each switched outlet.
• Amps: (VMR Only) The current, in Amps, being consumed by each switched
outlet.
